a very spiritual recollection! twilight is indeed the sign that God remains here. the day has ended, yet a new one wiil soon begin. the darkness should not be feared as it is the transition between what has ended and what has yet to begin. God created twilight and dawn to to have the darkness in between them as a sign that an ending leads to a new beginning. twilight inspires us to reflect on what is about to end. dawn inspires us to embrace what is about to be. to God, there is no “then”; there is only “NOW”! we are incapable of grasping a pure concept of “NOW”. we require a starting point and ending point. twilight and dawn are His way of re-assuring us that “NOW” is and will be “NOW”
if you think about it, part of the overflowing when you opened the Torah, was having a momentary view into “NOW”! at that point, you received the experience of the realization that
you are not a “was” you are not a “will be”. you are an “IS”! that is God’s time. everything was. everything will be, because everything is “NOW”!!! you were were lucky enough to be shown!!!! and i thank you for sharing it wit me!!

Rituals for releasing the old and beginning the new are so powerful, just like the waning of a day and the beginning of a new one! Thanks, Mom!

What a great experience to have. I think in being outside when the sun is rising soaking in the new energy and light of the day is the best way to start the day – and as the sun goes down witnessing the calming of the day,preparing the body for a good nights rest – and then twilight sitting with the darkness and the silents of the night you hear God in a very powerful way
