“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you, do not go back to sleep.” ~ Rumi
I like to get up quite early these days; early enough to catch the dawn before the rest of the world has awakened.
I like to look out my window; to appreciate the stillness just as it is.
Without expectation…
Without judgement…
Without any inclination as to how my day might proceed.
In these moments, I surrender. I surrender to the soft calm. I surrender to the warmth of my mug. I surrender to the contented breath of my sleeping pup.
I surrender to all those secrets that might soon be revealed.
It’s within these moments that time seems oddly suspended;
“For still there are so many things
That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green.” – J.R.R. Tolkien
It’s all right here, my darlings…a ‘masterpiece’ painted in life’s greatest glory.
With only this voice to carry us here; sweet music to the soul-searching ear.
