Now,
Here is a new beginning.
Today I got up early enough that no morning light had yet signaled the day's coming.
This time of year courts darkness like an easy lover.
At long last the windows lighten,
The lovers part,
And day begins.
As the room barely brightens I sit in silence.
Let the light bring silence to you through your skin and deep inside.
Lighten your being with the calm of quiet.
Tune your remarkable body.
Welcome your senses to the day so that they acknowledge your physical self,
Part by part,
And thus the whole.
Your feet steadying you,
Your legs and middle,
Your chest breathing you,
And arms,
Neck,
And head guiding you.
Bring your awareness to your emotional body,
Holder of your feelings.
After a night of sleep what feeling first appears on the empty plane?
Again,
Use your senses to see,
Hear,
Touch,
Taste,
Even smell the coming feeling.
That ultimate sense intuition is the first messenger of spirit.
Create some time to listen.
Leave judgments and astonishment aside so the message gets through.
May you this day be open to receive messages.
May you also carry and deliver messages.
Your gift today is a message.
