"Sunrise at Coon Lake" (Image & Text Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC)
“Dawn whispers softly, carrying yesterday away and opening the heart to today's promise.”
There is a small lake in the village where I live. Some mornings, instead of wandering the garden paths, I find myself drawn down to the water’s edge to greet the sunrise. Today was such a morning, and this is the image I carried back with me: golden light spilling across the stillness, rich and soft, vibrant and subdued all at once.
In these late August days, the sun feels different. Its light is gentler, deeper, richer in hue—like a beloved song sung in a lower key. The mornings and evenings shimmer with gold, copper, and bronze, as if the Universe itself has dipped its brush into a warmer palette. Standing at the shore, it feels like gazing through a gate into something vast and holy, a reminder of the miracle of simply being part of this world.
Each of us is a unique and important thread in this great tapestry. We carry gifts, talents, and sparks of creativity unlike any other. To be true to ourselves—to live fully and openly—is to live our purpose. Some of us lift hearts through art or music, some through teaching or guiding, others simply through kindness. Whatever the form, each act of giving enriches the whole.
Each day arrives as an invitation to consider what we can offer back to this miraculous Universe. A word of encouragement, a smile, a song, a thoughtful creation—all ripple outward, unseen yet enduring. In giving, we also find ourselves guided, nourished, and transformed.
So this day begins: dew-touched grass brushing my feet, the haunting call of a loon across the lake, the whisper of a breeze stirring the trees. The dawn opens its arms, and with gratitude and wonder, I step into its promise.
