Late Showing

The most beautiful part of the sunrise today was well after the sun had risen. I suppose it had to do with the fact that there was a lot of cloud cover except in the part of the sky that the sun passed through about 30 minutes after sunrise. When it got to this break in the cloud, it downlit the lake and the surrounding sky with the most beautiful golden orange glow. The top of the lake looked like a jewel. It was really gorgeous.

I wonder how many people who were out at sunrise missed this beautiful display because it didn't happen right away. I wonder how many other times I give up on something before it has had a chance to come to fruition. Better late than never springs to mind as a cliche that is worth remembering. Some things just take a little longer to reach their full potential. It doesn't mean they won't. Sometimes all it takes is time and patience.
