Sunset Prayers






Seagulls stand on the sand, facing the setting sun.
Humans also feel the sunset call to prayer, wherever they are.
A woman sits with outstretched arms as the sun sets.
Another bends to pick up bottles and debris from yesterday's storm, placing them in the bag she carries--her kind of prayer.
A man jogs backwards to see the sun set.
We're all built with a receptor that reads this golden light as a time to pause, perhaps to praise.
