Eight

The number eight represents something that is complete within itself in every respect. Two reasons are offered for this. First, eight is the product of two and four, and two and four both relate to conjunction, or things coming together to form units. Such conjunction leads to completeness, so the product of two and four means completeness. The second reason given is that the eighth day is the start of the second week, and as the first day of that week, it contains within it all that that week represents.

Morning

  
Two gorgeous red poppies -- one popped, and one just about to.

Morning comes with the rising of the sun, and the sun -- which gives life to the earth with its warmth and light -- represents the Lord in His divinity, bringing spiritual life through love and wisdom. Thus, the morning represents the coming of the Lord into our lives, and all the things that flow from it: the love, joy and enlightenment He brings; the peace and tranquility of passing the spiritual obscurity of night; the anticipation of the learning and usefulness of a new day; and the awareness of The Lord's renewed presence.
