The Sun Is Rising

We, here in Southern California have been marveling over the explosions of Life that have occurred in our vast deserts. I have seen the desert bloom numerous times over the past 60 years or so, but have seen nothing even close to this present explosion. As I was marveling over it I suddenly realized that Spring was breaking out in massive ways with in our people too.

Perhaps it started a bit early to be called Spring, but in a way, the Women's March on Washington signified an explosion, a reappearance the power and beauty of the Principles of Humanity "The Washington March drew at least 500,000 people, and worldwide participation has been estimated at five million. At least 408 marches were reported to have been planned in the U.S. and 168 in 81 other countries. After the marches, officials who organized them reported that 673 marches took place worldwide, on all seven continents, including 29 in Canada, 20 in Mexico, and one in Antarctica."  Wikipedia, 2017 Women's March

Since that harbinger of things to come there has been no let up in the blossoming of Human flowers of indignation and demands for equality and freedom not only in the U.S. but all over the planet. It is true that the "olds", or the News depending on your point of view, are mostly concerned with the insane and terrifying, (it sells stuff); however, If we pay attention to the more subtle things, like flowers blooming and people waking up and saying ENOUGH! we can see the sun is rising.

Rejoice.

The sun is rising, driving darkness down.

Look now. Look, already the Eastern sky

Is tinged with faint flames of morning orange.

Rejoice.

The sun is rising, driving darkness down.

Listen now. Listen, the plaintive sweet notes of the

Mourning Dove’s call are drifting on the morning breeze.

Rejoice now, rejoice.

We have traversed the night.

We face the day.

The Sun is rising over the land.

The Son is rising in the heart of man,

Driving Darkness down.
