IT IS LIKELY THAT EVERYONE has seen a sunrise at least a dozen times in their life. I’ve seen many while walking out from sleepless nights of homework, or staying up late enough to forget it’s becoming morning.
C sent me this video the other day, taken while on an eastward flight from San Francisco to spend Thanksgiving in NYC. The video is only 1:23 long, yet long enough to see the sun surface. It’s nothing special, but when you think of everything that happens in a day—functions, interactions, plans, communication, patterns, growth, breathing—the one factor that sustains everything, our sun, takes just under 2:00 to present itself to the world and make life possible. And it does, every day, regardless of what the world throws at it.
An arbitrary thought, but if the sun does that in two minutes, I begin to wonder what I can achieve in a lifetime.
