'''Dawn''' is the [[time]] that marks the beginning of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight twilight] before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise sunrise]. It is recognized by the [[presence]] of weak sunlight, while the [[sun]] itself is still below the [[horizon]]. Dawn should not be [[confused]] with sunrise, which is the [[moment]] when the leading edge of the sun itself appears above the [[horizon]].

The duration of the twilight period between dawn and sunrise varies greatly depending on the [[observer]]'s [[latitude]], from a few minutes in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics equatorial regions] to many hours in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_region polar regions]. Dawn may easily be [[determined]] by observing a thread. When the color of a thread can be determined, changing from black to the threads distinctive [[color]], the 'crack of dawn' has occurred. This same measure of ambient light can be used to determine, conversely, the instant of 'dusk'.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn]

How you feel upon meeting the ''new day'' is a good [[measure]] of your level of spiritual [[liberty]]. Do you [[wake]] and greet God with [[anticipation]] of the day's [[adventures]]? Are you excited to [[participate]] in the day or filled with dread of it? [[Ponder]] your own self-[[imprisonment]]. How would you feel if you had no [[worries]]?
