There’s something special about watching a beautiful sunset. Every one is completely unique and a one-time event, never to be seen again. You can pretty much watch a sunset from anywhere in the world. And there’s the timelessness element. Every single one of our ancestors has watched a sunset. That’s what our ancient forebears did. They were done with their work for the day by the time sunset rolled around, and simply enjoyed Earth’s natural beauty. They observed the stillness of the world, the changing from day to night. We can do it too, and doing so somehow connects us to them. It grounds us to the Earth, the only home humanity has ever known. When we enjoy a sunset, we are a part of it all—our progenitors, our planet, the elements. Sunsets provide peace through to the dawn. Let's watch more. It will bring our species closer together, and reconnect us with the Earth.
