As I type this the sun is peeking over the horizon here in Raleigh. I won’t see it due to trees and ridges…and because I’m sitting in a windowless room in the basement. Nine weeks ago our first Saturday in Hilo brought an orange glow as the sun peeked over the industrial buildings at the port of Hilo (located east of Hilo proper). I never tired of this. I think people who live where they can see to the horizon unimpeded by anything must have a different outlook on life or at least on the natural world. I know it has that effect on me.
all the voices in my head 
There’s something special about watching the sun rise over the horizon, isn’t there? It’s like nature’s way of resetting the world. I can imagine how the view in Hilo, with that orange glow, must have felt magical. It’s so true that living where you can see the horizon can really shift your perspective on life. I think being able to see that wide open space can make you feel more connected to the world and its rhythms. It sounds like you had a beautiful experience there!
