Please welcome: Cameron Roark

As I was driving to work today, I gazed upon a vast ebbing body of water much like the picture you see. The view was all too ordinary, yet not so ordinary as to lose meaning.

There is not much of a difference between a sunrise or a sunset. Were one to awake at polar ends of the day and behold the same sight, it would nearly be the same. The only difference would be the direction that it originates.

You and I gaze out to visions that could be interpreted one of two ways: either as a sunrise or a sunset.

It could be growing darker in a few moments. The light may be dimming. It may mean there there is darkness ahead. The malaise could be inescapable.

The light may soon give notice that the day will begin anew, also. With opportunity. With optimism.

Look again. What do you see now?

To us, it is rising.
