Every morning
give yourself permission
to pause and
savour the new day.

Cherish these moments
that nourish the soul,
like the pre-dawn light 
dancing through the window
and the soft weightiness
of a peaceful house.

Others may be asleep.
So let them be.
In your awakening
embrace the wonder
of simply being here.

Take that into your 
day so that others can feel
the warmth in your heart and 
see the light in your Being

In the hope that they too
will wake up and 
come home to themselves.
