There is a moment, just before dawn that draws me in.
Calms me.
Centers me.
Calms me.
Centers me.
It is a time when the birds start their singing to signal my rise and join in their preparations for the day.
A moment of solitude and deep, deep breath. A brief rest from the worry of the challenges the day may bring to those I love. A moment of Thanksgiving for all the goodness surrounding me.
The stillness of the land. The quiet. The mist.
The wonder at the new that has evolved over night.
***
I am not alone in the understanding and renewal that moment offers. My oldest knows it well.
And then...
God seems to open one eye,
God seems to open one eye,
clear the haze and another day is born.
I can only hope to use it well.
