"We are like dawn, you and I, like light breaking into the world....

"We are like dawn, you and I, like light breaking into the world. Alone we are only a flicker, a promise not a reality, but when joined with others, when combined with the bright hope of millions, we roll back the night like a carpet, flooding the sleeping world with a new day, a new beginning. Faith is what makes us shine, love is what lifts us into the sky, trust is what brings us together with those like us, other souls like ours, other stories like ours, swept by a rising wind to enlighten creation with the joy of the Spirit who made us all. We are like dawn."
The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston
