Sunrise calls my spirit to passion. Always unique, but always a lifting of spirit, awakening to myself & my connectedness with the universes. It is like a Tone Poem. In "time," so brief, yet with the timelessness of ages. Music in colour & feeling. The thin, golden thread along the horizon, the first pale magenta on the mountain top, the intermingled rifts of alizarin crimson with great spreading wings of purple. The community of birds awaken. Trees are tipped in washes of cadmium red. It's truly non-intellectual & not easy to describe. The beginning of another cycle, within cycles?
I was once in San Miguel, Mexico where my window looked across the plaza to the bascilica. As the sun rose, the voices of exotic birds in the plaza also rose in excitement. The bells, the priest, who seemed to leviate as he approached the bascilica; then whispered swish of brooms on watered cobblestones. So, the day had become.
Yes! For me sunrise does this; sunrise IS passionate. Yet what an apparant duality in sunset!
I just thought of "The Lark Ascending" & that's the word I was searching for. Sunrise is ascending, sunset is descending....

Hi,
The sunrise calls out to our spirit to remind us of the natural cycles in life: the sunset a sign of ending, sunrise, a new start. The sunrise might bring passion and creativity’s call. Energy, vigour, optimism, renewed strength. And as the day goes on and it’s time for sundown, energy and passion may wane but it doesn’t have to be that way because after the sun sets, there will be another sunrise.

An old German proverb says, "The morning hour has gold in its mouth". Passion? Maybe. Life? Definitely. It's just good to see another day. I don't go about things quite as passionately as when I was young. Passion's call seems a little more distant, I hope that doesn't mean the nights are longer. I doubt it since they seem all too short.

To me the sunrise means new beginnings. Does passion call?, that is an individual thing, as for my self, my passions flow all the time.

After coming off a 12 hour night shift, I can be very passionate about the pale yellow light broken by shadows on the walls of uptown buildings on my walk home. The light of dawn is a more brighter, energetic ray than the reddish hues of the evening sunset.

But then, maybe lack of sleep simply drops my intellectual walls and lets the emotions and passion flow.

Peace

Have you ever heard a song, perhaps it mght even be a hymn, "Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh...shadows of the evening drift across the sky..." I haven't heard it for decades, but it feels so very nostalgic. The ending of the day, birds flitting to their nests, peace & contentment. That is sunset, to me.
Sunrise, the antithesis of sunset, has great joy & passion. A new beginning.
Isn't it fascinating how people's definitions of things define them? (If one looks deeply enough.)

It well might. But I'm old and tired nowadays and not the man I used to be. So I'd probably acknowledge it gratefully but get up and have a drink of water, and then turn to the appointments of the day. I always was the slave of duty!
