A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Its loveliness increases
It will never pass into nothingness
But still will keep a bower quiet for us
And a sleep full of sweet dreams and health and quiet breathing
Endymion,J.Keats
End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back and all change to silver glass and then you see it.White shores and beyond. A far green country under a swift sunrise
Gandalf
Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition
I.Asimov
Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring
C. Sagan
'O me!O life! of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish;what good amid these,O me,O life?
Answer.That you are here that life exists,and identity;that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.'

There are few dawns one usually gets to experience....we mostly sleep through it......but there are a precious few we get to remember.

Especially those when the air is crystal clear and you can see still the night stars but Venus has risen in the horizon and you know that in a few moments the sun will come up and the new day will begin, with all the noises and sounds of life.

But in these precious few moments in between night and day the air stands still, the noises stand still, like a screen capture in time ......when everything seems possible but also everlasting.

When you pause to hear the sound of your own thought. The sound of your own heart.

It takes a lot of bravery to still believe in dreams in this world. Not to be foolish but to conscioulsy believe that anything is possible. Also to believe in goodness. Most will think of you a fool. Even a person with not such a clear head. Crazy.

Well......it is in these moments of silence, these pauses in time that reality and dream blend and everything seems possible.

I'm a sucker for mornings :)

Yes very true!!!

Well I cant really say that every dawn gives me certainly a feeling of happiness especially if a hard day is ahead. But most of the dawns I have witnessed were either during vacations when I hadn't slept or night so the dawn was actually the end of the night and mostly at those times I had experienced that happy feeling, or when I stayed up working or reading or something.

At the latter times I was not so happy....but the dawn again made me feel better....and more tired.

Its a feeling that the world keeps going around, that no matter what happened during the night a new day begins.

I don't like being awake during the dawn I like sleeping but I do cherish the times I have witnessed it.
