"As daylight dawned, the sun rose once more,
And the journey back to the light began."
The Guardian of the Woods
Every morn the sun rises bringing warmth and brightness into a brand new day. During that day, we may be drenched by rain or frozen with sleet, but it will be a day like no other. The sun will fall from the sky allowing the moon and star to guide us with the promise of the sun to return tomorrow.
We can compare life to the advancement of the bud on a tree ... it pushes itself out upon a limb; it flowers in spite of challenging weather; it ages; and then falls away. The roots remain strong and the tree stands ready to greet the buds again. Is this not life and death?
We lace our hiking boots and toss on our backpack as we climb the mountain before us. There may be a pleasant fragrant breeze followed by a large boulder seemingly meant to abort our passage. With physical courage and mental strategy we arrive on the other side .... arriving in a meadow filled with bliss. Is this not encountering challenge followed by resolve?
