Being up before dawn is pretty magical, if you ask me. The world sits in silence as all the noise-makers are still asleep. The only sounds to be heard are those of the night creatures that are settling in for a nap. A few of us day creatures are merely out to enjoy a bit of peace before the hubbub of the day starts. The magic comes from the feeling that this specific time was created for "me" alone. It is the perfect time to gather strength to face whatever may come. All is good.
A few days ago, the sun came up like a fiery ball. Even before it cleared the pines on the opposite shore, its presence could be "felt". It was as if the sun was trying to tell me that the darkness of the night is only temporary. The sun rises and clears away the doubts held by the nighttime hours. It gave hope that this old world was going to mend and be whole again.
Folks, the sun can rise, it can spill light in all the dark corners but it cannot heal the world. That is up to us...all of us. You know what? Now is a good time to do just that. Rise like the sun and spread light and kindness on the world.
