A good morning hug from the universe

July 16, 2009 by Claire Affleck  


The morning light reaches through the trees and down across the fields
A good morning hug from the universe
That is just mine
The first peaceful rays of light on my face while the world is still quiet
I try not to make a sound so I won’t wake it
Everyone else is still sleeping, waking to the smell of coffee
Then showers and toast while glancing at the paper
Hurry out the door and rush down the road to the radio blaring
But in those first moments of the morning
When I am greeted by the sun with the birds calling out and the rabbits having breakfast
And the horses blink their sleepy eyes at me
I savor having the whole world all to myself
And it is glorious
And I am grateful

    Your mornings sound like mine (except I have exuberant puppy dogs, rather than sleepy horses!). I love those early, quiet times, to just wake up, look out the window and smile, knowing that the day will begin with peace.
