Sunset Lessons: Reflections on Light and Love from the Darkest of Places

I am fascinated by the impact of natural phenomena on the human psyche. We are all connected--to each other, and to the infinite cosmos that is our home.

At times, I try to understand the science of these exquisite interactions. At times, I simply stand in awe, a humble observer.

This is a series of reflections on the power and impact of the setting sun, as seen through the filter of tremendous grief and emerging hope.

The work is dedicated with immeasurable gratitude to the life and legacy of my beautiful wife Karen, whose mortal journey ended prematurely during a spectacular sunrise and whose memory will forever be enshrined in the magical light of the setting sun.

Roddy composed this anthology of personal reflections after the death of his wife, Karen, following her courageous battle with cancer. In them, he describes his inspirational journey through grief to find fresh hope in the promise and power of the sun.
 
Although this work is inspired by an intensely private journey, Roddy has chosen to share it in the belief that his experience may nurture hope and courage in the hearts of others faced with the loss of a deeply cherished family member or friend. He offers these insights to the reader in the conviction that sharing hope appropriately honors the gifts of light and love that Karen brought to the world.
