There was a time in my life that I became afraid of sunset. Whenever I saw the change in color of the sky, I became numb, my hands were shaking and sweat a lot then cold feet. As I walked slowly to go home, I felt like I am slowly fading away.
Every night I prayed to God to heal me. I prayed religiously and sincerely. When day time, again I would pray to him. Somehow my faith in God healed me.
Now, I am not afraid of sunset. I realized that I connected sunset with death. What I am really afraid of is death. I am not ready to die because I haven’t accepted God in my heart. As I become more prayerful I learned that with God there’s nothing to be afraid of.
I got to see sunset now as beautiful scenery. The pristine beauty of sun as it slowly kissed the sea was so breathtaking.
I like this post very much. I also like this poetic line “The pristine beauty of sun as it slowly kissed the sea was so breathtaking.” Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Bradley! Virily has given me a chance to write again and publish my work. Although I am still new here but I already have this feeling of accomplishment because of your comment. Thank you so much. I feel inspired.
Well done! Nice post!
Thank you Georgi! Thank you so much
Sunsets are a symbol of hope to me, I feel at peace when I see them from my deck.
This picture was taken at my hometown in bagacay tinambac camarines sur. I always find tranquility in our places.
This is a very different sunset and one I really like.
Thank you Ghoshwriter for liking my article. i feel so blessed that I can write again. after so many years i wasn’t able to write because of my busy schedule. I am thankful that a friend recommended virily to me. ?????
Beautiful picture and story. I understand your fear of death although I am not personally afraid of dying as is is a part of the cycle of life. I am happy for you that you found solace in God and that now you can enjoy sunsets just as much as sunrise.
It sounds like you are prepared for it all.
