The sun can represent so many different things... new beginnings, long-awaited endings, stifling heat, unfortunate burns. And I have a feeling that most people gaze at the burning light in the early hours of the morning, or late in the afternoon as it fades over the horizon. I haven't heard many people say they stare into the blinding light at noon to consider their deepest thoughts.
When I was in the mountains this summer with my family, I had the ability to walk outside every morning and every evening, and see the most beautiful sunrise/sunsets over the North Carolina mountains. In doing so, I found myself slipping into almost a hypnotic state, analyzing my life and my feelings. After all, it's easier not to completely go mad with worry over what you haven't accomplished when you're in the presence of something so calm and beautiful.
Getting up early isn't the most fun thing to do in the world, but I urge you to dedicate one morning in the near future to awaking before dawn, and finding a place to witness God's beautiful handiwork.
The sun won't give you any answers, but it very well may spark your soul.
