The naturally occurring bookends to each day, the sunrise and sunset have always held a beautiful symbolism for life. As brilliant as its hues held within, each morning sunrise holds the promise of a brand new day--a fresh start to begin again. Sunsets, sizzling with a kaleidoscope of shades and tones, remind us of a day well spent, opening the way for reflection, and gratitude to enter our hearts each evening.
