You can’t really tell by looking at this photo whether the sun is rising or setting, can you? The beginning of the day and the end of the day in one frozen moment can look pretty much the same. But if cameras could capture the unseen – what’s in the heart and mind and body – as well as what is seen, you would have no difficulty discerning what time of day this was for me.
Sunrise moments are filled with new energy, thoughts about plans for the day ahead, eagerness to spend time reading the Bible and other things, a spring in my step and a cup of tea in my hand. Ah yes, sunrise is a good time.
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Sunset moments are filled with the satisfied weariness of a day spent, a desire to relax and cease all productivity, eagerness for a good night’s sleep, anticipation of reading before dropping off with a good book in hand and a pillow under my head. Ah yes, sunset is a good time.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for Thou, O Lord, doth make me to dwell in safety.
But the camera can’t tell you all of that. Curious? It was a sunrise moment.
What would a photo tell about your sunrise and sunset moments if a camera could capture that?
I’ll probably delete this in the morning with a spring in my step and a cup of tea in my hand.
