I have come to rather relish the notion that a sunrise (like yesterday's) is an indication -- if not a heralding -- that God has been up a while and is rolling out another day of His glory. Over my life, I have learned to look east with anticipation. What does He communicate to me through this ritual exercise that is similar, but never exactly the same? What does this tell me about Him? And, how does that free to me to experience the ensuing day with a different and fresh perspective?
...I think it does just that and to be about doing the same thing. It prays this prayer for me:
Lord, take me where you want me to go, let me meet who you want me to meet, tell me what you want me to say, and keep me out of your way.
-- Prayer of Father Mychal Judge
