Dance Information

The verse reads,

This passage is part of a poetic reflection on the omnipresence and omniscience of the divine, emphasizing the idea that even in the farthest reaches, one is still under the guidance and protection of a higher power.

The metaphorical usage of the phrase has extended beyond its biblical origin and is often employed in literary, artistic, and cultural contexts. It signifies a journey or movement facilitated by a force beyond the tangible or ordinary, suggesting a transcendence of physical and temporal limitations.

In addition to its biblical and metaphorical implications, the phrase has been employed in various titles and creative works. For instance, "On the Wings of the Morning" has been used as a title for books, songs, and other artistic endeavours, further embedding its presence in cultural expressions.
