What a long night

There is an American saying, "the night is the darkest right before dawn."  For the most part, that is true literally and figuratively. Sometimes life intensifies before catching a break.  But I do rely on the fact that around the corner darkness breaks.  A more poetic version of the above saying is, "as sure as the night follows the day, so day breaks at the end of each night."  I'm not thankful for the first part of the cycle, but when that part of the cycle is in force, I do count on the truth of the second part of the saying.

I'm waiting on the turn of the Earth for the hint of the sun's rays.
