There’s something special about the morning; about getting up before the sun does and starting a day fresh and refreshed. Of course, this requires going to bed much earlier than I usually do, but I must say that there’s something to be said for watching a sunrise*.

I don’t know how to put words to describe it, but there’s something cosmic about watching darkness turn to light, shadows dissolve, grays fade to color. I like it.

* Technically it isn’t a sun rise at all, it’s the earth spinning. But sometimes it’s better not to be technical, because there’s something poetic about the phrase ’sun rise’ that is lost by a more technical description. Not everything needs to be analyzed, I need to remember :)

A note about the photo: it’s a shot taken July 30, 2002 in Boston at RSI 2002. The students had been up all night writing and rewriting their papers (and as their counselors, we had been up too, helping as best as we could) — we came upon the idea to go out to Harvard bridge and watch the sunrise as a means of taking a break. Now in the November of my first semester of law school, I can certainly identify with the need to take a breath of fresh air and look at nature’s beauty as a means of respite from study.bad credit loans $5000guaranteed 100 loans student200 loan day payloans quick 300direct loan 502loan nursing 9 studentuk loan aatexas loan rate adjustable Map

Go out there and vote!

Also, remember that local candidates often make more of an impact on your daily life than do the statewide and national ones… be sure to be informed about who they are and where they stand.

I hope this election day is an informed and intelligent one, both for you and for America :)

Resources for fellow Michigan voters:

A nice resource I’ve found is this Non-Partisan Voter’s Guide from Michigan Family Forum.

For an in-depth analysis of the five statewide ballot measures, Consult the Citizen Research Council. They don’t recommend a particular vote, but instead give you the data you need to reach an informed decision.

Finally, for a nice overview what’s at the ballot, consult The Green Papers and Voter Information Services.accredited colleges listinguniversities accredited on-lineadjusting spreads creditfinancial credit group responsibility 2007 consultingdomestics accreditedamerican airlines creditlearning care child accreditationcredit card 20 legal advice debt Map
