One Sunrise
Hilary Cooper said: “Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”
Without sunrise there would be no nature. All nature begins with the sun, the sun being the first breath of nature, the gasp of new beginnings.
The sunrise is something that I love about mornings. I love the sound of silence and that moment when you can hear your own heart beat reminding you that you’re alive and fully awake when most are still lost in their dreams. I love hearing my breath leaving my body, reminding me that time does not have a stop sign, that my journey is short. I love the cold breeze that awakens every feeling in my body and reminds me that it’s alright to feel and that what I feel with my eyes, I feel with my heart as well. The beauty of the sunrise overwhelms me. It wraps itself around my heart, warming my entire existence, and that one moment makes it all worth it. I wish I could freeze the moment when my breath is taken away. My eyes become deep blue oceans, and in my ears, rings the beautiful melody of life. The sunrise shines light on my destiny. It brings light into every dark corner, reminding me that it does not matter how I started my journey, but it is how I finish it. Every moment spent watching the sunrise has strengthened my being and has empowered me to face my journey’s obstacles with dignity and courage. Living in the moment, I realized that I might not be the sun that rises in the morning and sets at night, but I have my own light. Inside each one of us is a flame that can light every dark corner in our journey, and if you take a moment, you can hear your own flame. That flame will burn away until the sunset of your life comes. We all have a light inside us. The question is: will you let it shine, just like the sun shines down on us? The sunrise is magical to me, and it will keep taking my breath away until my last sunset here on earth.
