Sunrise and sunset as daily practice

The sunrise is free, recurring, reliable, and indescribably beautiful — which makes it the most underutilized spiritual practice in the world. Nasreddin watched sunsets not from sentimentality but from the conviction that the end of a day deserved to be witnessed, as a form of gratitude for having been given it. The practice costs nothing except the willingness to stop what you are doing, which is, of course, the only reason most people never start.
