<p><strong>But, once in awhile I am up early, at Dawn, outside, to take it in. And then the image does not summarize what was. It beckons. What might be. If one is fortunate enough to be in this setting, one&#8217;s attitude is probably more positive than negative. In essence, controlling one&#8217;s destiny, one&#8217;s path helps keep things in a more positive light at Dawn.</strong></p>
