read or listen:
The quiet magic of dawn
welcomes me,
no matter who I am
when I awaken.
If I’m a deeply bruised hermit,
wandering in the smallest corners of myself,
or a victorious saint,
slipping out of a grand dream adventure,
it doesn’t matter.
The sunrise teaches us to trust.
It reminds us that we belong,
curled in the arms of this moment,
cradled by the peace that lives here,
always.
There are so many more dawns
that will be born
than lives I can conjure.
Each one will open itself to us,
each one will say yes
to every blessed being that is willing
to blossom
on this new day.
