Closure of another day!


Every time I watch a sunset, I feel fascinated by the rhythm of nature in closing each day with the sunset!

 Some thoughts surfaced in my mind when I was photographing this sunset!

The sunset ushers in the night which is an invitation for physical rest for all humans. The sunset brings a pleasant temperature and a cooler night. The sunset also protects the plants and trees from too much heat of the day. It is after the sunset, some creatures and animals set out searching for their food. The sunset initiates many such essential activities for humans and the flora and fauna.

This closure of the day is a symbol of the rhythm of life! Just as there is day and night with different useful functions, the peek and valley experiences are two differently valuable experiences of life!

Yesterday, a senior colleague mentioned to me that ever since, he has had less to do in planning for an institution of which he has been a part of from its inception, he felt that it is a time of closure of this involvement and to begin something else. Although he feels excluded, he views it an occasion to wait for something better! 

His words came to me at a time, when we are struggling to find professionals who have long term commitment to the department where I work!

Every closure is a transition in to something better!

When the sun sets, the moon is on the horizon with its glow of hope!
