The morning mist filters the sunlight and seems to soften the world around us. It is like the earth whispers to the world. The birds are haunting in their song because you hear them, but you can’t see them; they are hidden in the mist. The morning is muted; the sounds and the colors are softer as if you are looking through a veil.
The morning always reminds us that we have work to do and animals to feed. Though, for this moment, I will stand here and feel the world at rest, hesitating before the sun burns through the morning mist.
I will feel this time of peace and serenity and embrace it with my heart and soul for this moment will never be here again. It exists only now as a gift to be treasured and remembered. I take a deep breath and step into the day, a day like no other I have known.
The enchantment of Nature really knows how to amaze us, surprise us, graft in us the sense of the marvelous. How many times do we happen to be truly speechless in front of certain natural landscapes, but also motionless, astonished, in front of a starry sky or a sunset that lights up the sea, in a forest full of trees that seem to touch the sky.
But I want to add that beauty is also the gift we make of ourselves to others, the one that encloses our interiority, strong in its values, consistency, attention to the other.
Every day gives us an opportunity for a fresh start. And there is so much promise embodied in the beginning of the day and you captured it beautifully, Larry.
Beautiful. My favorite time of day is the morning when I feed and walk my dog, Layla, then head out on a run around the lake. Sacred time. I appreciate your writing so very much! Thank you for sharing this, my friend!! Such a valuable reminder that every single day we wake up and step into the morning–that this day is a new one, a fresh moment not ever to be lived again…
Thank you my dear friend for your kindness
Larry – My morning time? Priceless. Thanks for capturing it.
Thank you Jeff and enjoy your morning
Larry, images such as what accompanies this article of yours takes me out of where I am, even in the late afternoon of the day.
Thank you Lynn. Being that we live in the country now. I catch the sunrise and sunset every day. It truly makes you feel different
Larry – Great reminder that during these times, we still need to see each day as a gift. Thanks.
