The light at dawn




There is something about the light at dawn. The air is quiet and still and seems to be pausing for the arrival of the day. The sun begins to come up over the mountains, sharing the sky with the stars and the moon. Guarding their watch throughout the night they seem ready to recess. A warm glow of yellow orange adding spikes that at first dance low in the sky and then spread like ripples across a still pond. The sky is ablaze in orange and red announcing that the day has arrived. The ripples spread wide and are replaced by the gentle yellow of the rising sun. The light is soft, the shadows begin to disappear and the sound of feeding birds begins to fill the air.

Another day has begun… untouched by the past….full of promise and possibility.
