Why is a SunSet Intriguing?

I decided while I had some time to research this topic. And, what I discovered, there is really not much on the web about this subject. So, based on that, I am going to examine deeper into why I personally enjoy the silence of the sunsets.

I have noticed that the beach is extremely calming and there is a silence that comes with humans watching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

The excitement of the beachgoers during the day, surfing, building sand castles, teens playing volleyball, the chasing of the surf by babies…. that all dissipates about a half an hour before the sun sets…it is like there is a light switch thrown…. The scene turns into a romantic setting for a young couple seeing their first sunset together having met on spring break…. The family that bunches together in silence instead of the oo’s and ah’s of a fireworks family; and the single individual’s silhouette against the dimming sky soul searching for a meaning of tomorrow.

I find that a beach wedding ceremony, especially for myself as the officiant for SeaSide Bride LLC, is extremely spiritual, one with nature. The feeling of the sand beneath your feet, the wind blowing through your hair and the ending of two lives blending into the beginning of one life together….

The sunsets, I believe are a time of reflection on the day and the hope for a beautiful tomorrow….

I would like to hear more from others on why they are drawn to sunsets and their meanings for you.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you talk about the peace and silence that overcomes you. For a moment there is just a glow on the horizon that seems so close but is actually an impossible destination. We can easily compare chasing down the horizon with marriage and life in general. In both, the joy is found in the journey, not the destination. (Nice photo too!) :)

Sunsets are the perfect ending to your day--as if God is rewarding us for actually making it through the day! Getting married against the backdrop of a sunset is a symbolic way of ending one's single journey and beginning a new journey together. It's a beautiful sight and a beautiful journey!

It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea---whether it is to sail or to watch it---we are going back from whence we came. - John F. Kennedy
