The Dawning

The dawn is such an interesting time of the day. This morning its cool, damp, foggy and surrounded with shapes and shadows that will emerge as bushes, trees, and creatures as morning arrives. You can see these shapes emerging yet you're not sure what they are, and the imagination seizes the opportunity and transforms them into all kinds of things. You imagine a deer, a bear, lions, and even big foot himself eases along through the fog of early dawn. Eventually day breaks and all those creatures are slowly revealed as bushes and tall weeds moving with the wind.

Life has its moments of dawn just like each morning. Times when you struggle to make sense of it all, and the imagination runs wild being energized mostly by fear. Eventually the dawning happens and we begin to make sense of all the shapes and shadows of life. I guess the good news is that morning always follows the dawn, and usually the darkest and coldest times of the day are at dawn. So, when things seems really bad or uncomfortable take heart because morning is coming and all our surroundings will be revealed for what they truly are. Mull on it, and you'll see what I mean.
