Dawn's Courage

At dawn's first suggestion, discerning the darkness from the fog is no simple task. We inch forward, hoping that we progress forward instead of back, but not really certain. That we choose to move while early is an act of courage. The temptation to wait until the fog burns off is tangible. But the days are growing shorter, and the nights are already too long for complacency. Action is crucial. Decisions are constant. Reflection must be brief. Discernment must be on target. Roused from bed at dawn's first suggestion, we engage with life.
