Sometimes the sun comes up without fanfare. Other times it burst through the morning darkness in a blaze of glory. It would be interesting to know what percentage of the world's population makes a point-at least now and then-to appreciate the sunrise. I'm guessing it's a small percentage. Probably fewer yet recognize it for the gift it is.
I'm not an idealist and I'm certainly not naive about most things, but I'm pretty sure on average we human beings take most good things for granted; especially those good things that have existed for longer than human beings have. Today, I think I'll be grateful for the many people who have fought and died for the freedom we have to enjoy the sunrise, or if we choose, to sleep in and just look at pictures of it.
