The sun is, of course, a major component of the sunrise... but also the factor, which is so powerful, that it washes the colors from the morning sky.
We too, in our efforts to "put our world in order," may, with too much power, wash the colors from the world so that in the end we are left with a clean and bright, but sterile, environment.
Sometimes it is worth stopping, thinking, and moderating our good intentions in order to maintain diversity, color, and interest in our surroundings.
