Dawn Always Follows The Dark Night
There may be times in our lives when a darkness comes, a night so black and foreboding that to traverse its length, its depth, without annihalation seems impossible. And yet, the darkness may fall so suddenly, so heavily, that there is no choice. We are in it. We must move through it, trusting that the dawn will come, that this, too, shall pass. And there is no guarantee. Surrender is the only choice, with our faith like a lantern to light our way.Eventually the horizon does brighten, and we are reborn. The dawn comes, bringing with it a freedom and serenity that far surpasses anything we have yet encountered. We are changed, transformed, if we are willing to trust.
Notice today that each state of being that you enter passes and shifts to a new state. Nothing is permanent. Everything is in constant flux, and each moment, no matter how dark, passes into another, and yet another.
