I remember once hearing an old Polynesian saying, ‘The gods do not deduct from man’s allotted span the hours spent in fishing’.<\/p>\n
I am certain that there also exists the same grace when taking the time to watch the sun fall through the changing colours of the darkening horizon into evening twilight.<\/p>\n
For a time we watched that golden orb descend its own diameter every couple of minutes until it kissed the land, and slid gently beneath a desert sea.<\/p>\n
We watched the twilight fade through orange, green then to a dim violet grey before making our way down onto the now starlit plain.<\/p>\n
