It happened during a quick after-work drive through my hometown. It was the last hour of golden evening daylight. Townsend, where I grew up, is a very small and very average town.

We Missed the Dawn!: A Unity Tuesday Blessing
The truth is that we missed the dawn today. Today’s dawn awakened before we did. These are the days when light reigns supreme, Prancing atop the heights and dancing down below, Perching and waiting and grinning for us, Sitting there already in front of us as we open our eyes. So it begins: Unity Tuesday.Continue reading “We Missed the Dawn!: A Unity Tuesday Blessing”
