THE DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT
We have all heard the expression, "It dawned on me..." Dawn is the time of day where gradually the dark turns into light. We all are on a spiritual journey. Some people are just more aware of that than others and are with awareness they are actively taking steps towards the Light.
In the early dawn's light we are beginning to see outlines and shapes of things yet to be revealed. The heart quickens and more life begins to stir within and the excitement mounts. We anticipate the coming of light when we can see more clearly. What might have been frightening in the dark before the dawn is shown to be what it is. Rather than that snake we thought we saw on the driveway, we now see it was a tree branch. I had that experience about a month ago followed by a good laugh the next morning.
In the dark, many things may seem to be ugly, unacceptable, or wrong and we want to get out our flashlight and reveal just what needs to be changed, fixed, or done away with in the world, in others, and sometimes even ourselves. A flashlight is light shed by our selves, our wounded egos, and is artificial. It never reveals things as they really are. But the Light that is within us waiting to be recognized and nurtured reveals things as they truly are.
So put the flashlight away and open up to the Light within. Allow the Universal Creative Energy some call God to bring the dawn to you. It's the only way. The other ways through human effort with wounded ego or idea of self and the world is like a photograph. A photograph is only an image and while gives a likeness of what is real it is not the real thing. It falls short of revealing the true nature of the person or object.
While waiting for the dawn's light, focus upon what a glorious world it will be when you can see what was hidden from you in the dark.
Oh, say can you see?
