ayoubMorning Glory
Prince used to put May you live to see the dawn on his CDs. He's changed it now, but I always found the wish to be profound.
On one hand, it's a wish to not die in your sleep, which is known to happen, but I find that to be an archaic use of the phrase.
I prefer to believe that the dawn is more a beginning of a new age. I could wax lyrical about an age of peace and reason, but that's not the point of this. I dream of the moment when I realise that this new age has arrived. It doesn't have to be a glorious morning, or even an actual morning, it doesn't even need to be a single global moment. I imagine it as a slow beginning; a year long dawn is no time at all if it's part of an age.
Is it possible to revel in the glory of the dawn of a new age? I think its possible that this particular phenomenon can't be felt by an individual. It's something that will only come to light as more and more people wake up to it.
I dream of waking up and reading about it one day.
