Sunrise.Sunset.

When I think of the sun rising, I think of rebirth and revival. Each day that I am blessed to wake up and see another day, I view it as another chance to start anew and make changes to being a better person. Each day I live on this earth, I get to be with those I love and care for. When I think of the sun setting, I think of closure yet continence. When the sun sets, it always rises back up the next day. The question is, will we be able to see another day? Are we living our lives to the fullest? Are we living our lives with no regrets? Sadly, these very terms are used on many funeral programs that I have encountered in my life and has dual meanings when I view it in the literal and general sense. Lately I have been reflecting deeply upon life and death. Unbridled they are ironically paired. There is no life without death and for every death, there is life. Ah, the chaos that sweeps followed by peace. Only those who have been truly hurt and scorn by chaos understand this "peace" I speak of. I have been consciously finding my peace with chaos and counterbalancing hate with love. What a crazy cycle life can be sometimes. It's truly not about the destination, but the journey. This journey has taken me to so many realms and places that I have never seen before. Have you ever felt so many emotions at one time that you didn't know how to channel them or disburse them? Well lately I've been taking those emotions and placing them where they belong. Below you will find pieces of my journey in the realms of life and death and in sunrises and sunsets...
