Sunsets draw people in almost without fail.
Why? What is it about a five-minute daily occurrence that transfixes us and nourishes our souls?
For me, it’s a primal connection - it’s the same sunset that my ancestors have experienced; it connects me to a constancy in the world.
Further, it’s a way to mark a daily cycle. In a 21st-century world that includes 24-hour cable, Netflix, and social media always ready for browsing, it reminds me that every day has a beginning and an end.

I need that reminder; don’t you?
