Go On

I write a lot about dawn.  It is a great constant in my life and one that renews me by its occurrence every morning.  The things I like about dawn are:

-I can see things clearly.

-It is the glorious wrapping paper on a new day.

-It gives me a place to begin, literally.  Beginning is a hopeful gift.

-It levels the playing field giving me the same opportunity that

         everyone else enjoys, the most and least gifted of us will

         be given 24 hours today.

-It allows me to live hopeful in urgency, because even though I

         know night cometh, it is hopefully followed by another dawn.

-It is often preceded, like this dawn, by sunlight, which is as great

         a natural miracle as I am likely to experience this day. 

         Even now it is turning all the tops of trees gold and in my

         greatest moments of creativity I cannot do that.

I could go one but hopefully this dawn has encouraged you to go on.
