Dawn of a New Day

I was going to save this post until next fall. The photo is sunrise on a day just before the fall equinox. It was spectacular. I transferred the photo from my camera to my computer and looked at it on the screen. In short time the words came. First in English and then in Spanish.

Dawn

The sun rose today,
White hot, yellow, orange, red.
A new beginning.

Levantó el sol,
Luz feroz y con calor,
Un nuevo día.

This haiku has waited on my computer until I found a prayer by Page McManus on The Road I’m Travelling. The post is dated Jan 22, 2009.

“Thank you, Father, for loving us so much that you brought us into this world. Help us to discover your reason for doing this and help us to work to this purpose with all our heart.

And thank you for giving us a new start with each new day.

In Jesus’ name, Amen”

  2. Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)
    Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

  3. Beautiful photo! Linda poesia tambien.

    I too love taking photos of sunsets and sunrises as well as mountains and trees. I enjoy the “simpleness” in the landscapes. Simple is a very good for me.
