Sitting in Darkness

Someone once told me that to truly appreciate light you have to first sit in darkness. I was bummed when I missed the bus to the gym this morning, but then I turned around and saw mountainous backdrop of the channel barely visible by the sunlight that was not yet in sight. I took a walk down to the water and sat in the dark. Slowly but surely the sky lit up and I just took a moment to appreciate the light and have some much needed reflection and solitude.
