Essay writing on sunset
Answers
Explanation:
Over a hundred miles away from Los Angeles here I am dreaming, enjoying the solitude of the high desert wasteland of Kernville, CA. We visit the area every year for a family camping trip. Although I’m not taken for the outdoorsy type, I enjoy the opportunity to disconnect from the daily stress of life. It’s an opportunity to unplug, to get away from the inundation of our always-on world.
The surrounding area is desolate, filled with cacti, brush, and the semi-frequent jackrabbit that is there to remind you of the surrounding animals whose kingdom you have called home for the night.
This may be their world but together we share the same experience of the daily rituals of the sky. The phases of sunrise and sunset, where the sun gets replaced by the moon — the constant to remind us of the sacredness of life.
I’ve learned that life isn’t so trivial, it’s quite gorgeous and simplistic. We are bombarded constantly with what to think and feel instead of trusting what really is.
We aren’t acutely aware of life’s beauty which is hidden during our day to day experiences, especially for those trapped in the city limits. It’s only when we can escape to nature does life truly reveal itself, in its immaculate entirety. At that moment it’s as if nothing else matters besides the connection that naturally occurs.
Staring out beyond the mountains and watching the sun slowly disappear, I become present enough to not only realize but also appreciate the symbolism of the sunset.
