Always, Somewhere, It is Morning
‘Always, somewhere, it is morning. That bright streak of dawn extending from the arctic to the antarctic, the glittering boundary between day and night on this whirling sphere of ours, is always there. Dawn is not an isolated event renewed every day. It is a continuous astronomical performance.
...Wink at eternity, if you must, for winking is an involuntary human gesture - and you will not find the chance even in a lifetime to do much more than that about eternity - but whatever you do, keep both points of view firmly in mind; the eternal, and the timely one. They both exist, and they exist simultaneously. Combine them, or else you will understand very little of anything that is going on…’
-from Bedford Village by Hervey Allen
Listen to Always, Somewhere, It is Morning.

Morning
Oh I see him walking by,
I don’t know him,
he doesn’t know my mind.
We’ve all got our stories,
our interests and our lines.
Pockets filled with glories,
secrets behind our eyes.
Always, somewhere it’s morning.
Someone’s rising with the dawn.
Life and love without fair warning.
Catch it all before it’s gone.
The northern lights they’re shining.
Have you seen the midnight sun?
Outside a small, cliff city,
take my hand and let’s run.
Always, somewhere it’s morning.
Someone’s rising with the dawn.
Life and love without fair warning.
Catch it all before it’s gone.
Oh, my dear by the southern seas,
your summer’s gone when mine’s arrived.
Faded moon in my afternoon skies,
on your side it is night.
Always, somewhere it’s morning.
Someone’s rising with the dawn.
Life and love without fair warning.
Catch it all before it’s gone.

Life twists and turns and lands you into places where you would never have expected. There are difficulties and challenges that weave their way into your story, but they are just a part of your story. Take everything as growth, cry if you must, howl at the moon if you must, but know that the earth continues her eastward rotation and that the end of every night, the sun rises and a new day begins.
