#21 : contradictions & affections.

This is a Haleakala sunrise, at 5:38 a.m.

 

Through this little excursion, I discovered two things:

 

1) Sunrises are a daily occurrence, but a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing to experience.

2) I am not a morning person.

 

Upon seeing this photo again, and the sun and moon present there, it reminded me of a bit of The Notebook that I'd read today:

 

"Dusk, I realized then, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering, to be always together, yet forever apart?"
