Light is Generous

Light is incredibly generous, but also gentle. When you attend to the way the dawn comes, you learn how light can coax the dark. The first fingers of light appear on the horizon; ever so deftly and gradually they pull the mantle of darkness away from the world. Quietly, before you is the mystery of a new dawn, the new day … one of the tragedies of modern culture is that we have lost touch with these primal thresholds of nature.
