HUMANS, TAKE YOUR MARK

There is a “hopeness” in the early morning darkness that seems to set the tone for the day; it is the secure hope of dawn.  The human hopes for nothing with more sincerity and thus daily rewarded slowly develops a meaningful sense of optimism.  It seems to me that each day’s hope is then encouraged by community and nature and destroyed by media and technology.  I do not write this as metaphor but as reality, one must sit in the dark of the earth and be rewarded by the light of the sun.  Contemporary life seems to hide humans from one of life’s regular miracles and balm of hope that contemporary culture seems determined to replace with “GET READY, GET SET, GO.”
