Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.
Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.
Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.
The dawn arrives quietly, without fanfare, yet transforms the world.
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
The dawn always follows the darkest hour of the night; keep walking forward with unshakeable faith.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.
In the heart of every winter there is a spring that yearns to bloom; behind the veil of each night there smiles a dawn.
O heart, be patient in the night of trial; the dawn never forgets its ancient promise to awaken the sky.
Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.
However long the night may linger, the dawn will surely break.
