I have always felt connected to sunsets. They are my favorite part of the day and have always been one of the most beautiful aspects of nature to me. I would consider sitting and watching the sunset as a religious experience because I get to sit in the silence and reflect on my day while looking at the beauty of the sun setting on the day.

For example, by remembering a cool act of sustainability that your friend exhibited, one might feel less alone in their journey!
