From here to tomorrow,

the long journey taking us through the long dark night of the soul,

to wake in the morning just like every other morning,

to the first light of dawn.

This first dawn, the first light,

each morning we see it on waking and opening the blind,

we know it is there watching us and over us.

This reminder of things passed,

making us look at today

in that instant of the first light is the here and now.

This moment of time that makes who we are,

that first light that is us

the summary of what was before and what will be.

In this glimpse of light,

we see the eternal play that is our life,

we see the role we play now, we see the character we are,.

Eternity for ever and for every day,

That moment is our link to the story of eternal reality,

of the first breath,

of the first light.
