I see them nearly every day.
They are real.
And generally beautiful!

The place I live is to urbanised to see them. I just see it get lighter and lighter.

Lady Scott, I was just kidding. 
I know sunrises are real.
It's just that I see far more sunsets than sunrises.
Sunsets can be beautiful, too.

mmm...sunrises are more sort of uplifting, though, and sunsets are more relaxing...kind of appropriate really

They look about the same to me - except for the direction, of course...

Clelba Posted Jan 25, 2003

Sunsets in winter and early spring are sort
of gentle and pastel. If I had any talent
with watercolors, I would try painting them.
Of course, I'm so slow that I would keep wishing
they'd stand still so I could get them down
on the canvas.

There's a beautiful hymn I've heard sung several times, most recently at a family funeral.
It begins; "I see the sunrise" and includes the line "You are always close to me" 
I can't hear this without coming over all weepy, the sentiments are beautiful

*wonders what hymn that is*

My first thought was that it was
"Abide with me," but that one is concerned
with sunset.

Lady Scott Posted Jan 26, 2003
I'll have to try to remember to look through the hymnals at church tomorrow morning and see if I can find anything like that.

Congratulations for the most bizarrely off topicness of any thread I've yet encountered 
17 December 2002: The h2g2 Smileys - Winter Collection 2002
Lady Scott Posted Jan 26, 2003
Thanks - I'll try to find it.

dasilva Posted Jan 26, 2003
The hymn or the meaning of the thread?
17 December 2002: The h2g2 Smileys - Winter Collection 2002
Bagheera: Spellchecker, Grammarian Pedant, Semiquavering Secretary and member of the Punctuation Police Posted Jan 26, 2003
Either would be easier to find than The Meaning of Life
