Dawn.

"A pure heart is as a mirror; cleanse it with the burnish of love and severance from all save God, that the true sun may shine within it and the eternal morning dawn."
(Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 21)

The morning sun rise is always beautiful on a clear morning over Mt. Rainier as it peeks over the ridges.  I love nature, it calms my heart and soul. Rainbow sherbert sky, pines green and glistening, damp and foggy air. I love mornings like this in the Northwest, I've yet to have a camera during that time. Nature is so close to God, beautiful, awesome, serene.

Things are steady here in Washington, short day trips to play disc golf, playing games with friends, heading up to Seattle a few evenings, and went snowshoeing in the Cascades today. I am heading home to Indiana this upcoming week... it is going to be COLD. It has been one of the warmest recorded January since 2006, not much snow in the Cascades, enough for winter sports. It's mainly been in the 50s, going home I see it will be in the 20s! Burrr!
My thoughts and love are always connected back home, as I miss my friends and family dearly. Thank you, if you're reading this, for your loving support and friendship.
