As is typical, I find others have more to say on this subject and are more eloquent in doing so than I can hope to be. Over at Blackfive they have several great posts on this topic. I would like to steer you to one in particular. The Gates of Heaven
Really powerful stuff throughout the piece. I learned the words to Taps in sixth grade, at outdoor school of all places. A week long event that had everyone headed out into the Cascade foothills to a summer camp setting, and learning about the lifecycle of the forest. It was good stuff. One of the things that has always stuck with me was the closing of the day, around the campfire singing Taps. Hearing at sunset, or in the dark is entirely different than hearing it in the day, as is pointed out in the post.
Go read the entire piece, then go enjoy this weekend the way that you should (read it, you’ll know what I mean).
