Luke Lea was benefactor of the land and "lookout" that's become my ritual Sunday morning hike destination. https://t.co/joXVGCDKWR

Perpetual morning: "It matters not what the clocks say… Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me." https://t.co/F1W4jPK2CO

Up@dawn was launched in April 2009. Its mirror & successor as of June 2013 is Up@dawn 2.0: http://jposopher.blogspot.com/
The new site is a successor in several senses. It will bear whatever initial revisions it may occur to me to make in my dawn posts. The old site will thus stand as an uncorrected, unvarnished record of dawn's earliest light, as I've reflected it, and of my earliest daily errors. "Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things," as James said in "Will to Believe."
This site, as of May 2017, will also serve as an archival repository of posts, tweets, re-tweets, and whatever other dispatches can be easily shunted here.
So, the two sites may also stand together as a record of their fallible author's occasional self-correction and growth. "If I get up every day with the optimism that I have the capacity for growth, that's success for me." (Paula Scher)
Both sites will remain dedicated to the Thoreauvian proposition that morning "is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night.”
And as for versions 3.0 and beyond? My intent is that they will one day pop up between hard covers.
Meanwhile, may we all have a good day!
