I now know why many traditions include some form of Sun worship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_deity I saw the most magnificent sunset this evening and the effect is still with me now. I had an intention to put the experience into words when I sat down to write this post, but I realize now that that is going to be really difficult. Instead of trying to describe the experience with literal words, I thought I would try and share it with you via the lyrics of the song that was playing on the radio during the entire sunset.
For the record... those of you who know me personally and know my taste in music will understand exactly how hard it is for me to admit that I was listening to a radio station that plays this band... but, whatever... there it is.... I listen to a radio station that plays Foo Fighters.
Foo Fighters "Walk"

I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? I'm learning to talk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin?
Now For the very first time Don't you pay no mind Set me free again To keep alive a moment at a time But still inside a whisper to a riot To sacrifice but knowing to survive The first to climb another state of mind I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign Forever, whenever I never wanna die I never wanna die I never wanna die I'm on my knees I never wanna die I'm dancing on my grave I'm running through the fire Forever, whenever I never wanna die I never wanna leave I never say goodbye Forever, whenever, forever, whenever
I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? I'm learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough Where do I begin?
