Hazy

The sunrise today came in two phases. First the sun passed through a foggy haze. It was beautiful. The sun was red and you could look directly at it because of the filtering effect of the haze. Then it broke above the haze and burst forward in full blast. The most interesting time was when the sun was between the two phases - half the sun was filtered and half was at 100% strength. It was such an interesting observation.

There was great beauty in the filtered sun. It was quieter and less bold. It was much easier to look at. Perhaps there is some benefit to operating at 1/2 strength. Perhaps we are easier to work with and people can get closer to us if only for a brief moment. On the other hand, the sun was most powerful at full strength when it emerged from the haze. There is truth to that as well. We need to shine our full strength so that we can operate at maximum power. But, maybe there is a place for both.
