The Second Sunrise

"The echo of her laughter is the second sunrise I awaken to each day, and at night I feel it is more than stars looking down on me. " 

           ~Jerry Spinelli ( from his book Stargirl )

The new morning opens with rays of light, but a second sunrise also occurs when the right person walks into the room. This indoor sunrise is different from the outdoor one. This second sunrise is the transformation of darkness to light, from ugliness to beauty, and from hatred to love.

When the second sunrise shines, you can turn your head toward the incredible light and hear the laughter.
