REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset

Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

I am not a morning person, so I tend to see more sunsets than sunrises. :) The sunsets with the backdrop of the foliage are spectacular. I hope to enjoy them every day.
