We rise with the sun

Death is part of the circle, and one would be wise to remember this always.

We mustn’t dwell on it, but we must be ever aware.

We know the sun will set every day, but we don’t agonize over sunset’s approach.

We make the most of our days with the inner knowledge that each is a gift in finite measure.

You will never catch the sun, so enjoy the days as they come, ever mindful that our blue planet continues to turn, ceaselessly.
