The world invites you to join this day.
Even the deep winter black sky slowly dissolves now into a rich purple dawn,
Veined by the still dark tree branches.
The reaching branches beckon.
Let yourself reach back into the silence of the night just past and pull a blanket of stillness over you.
Feel the silence enter through your pores and melt down into your interior.
Feel alertness,
Alert peacefulness.
Read her now.
Gently wake yourself up from the inside out.
Warm up,
Bringing the glow of energy out to your whole body,
Your shoulders,
Chest,
Belly,
Then out to your legs,
Feet,
And arms,
And hands,
All the way to your toes and fingertips.
And so too,
Wake up your emotional self so that you have access to your feelings,
Or more accurately,
So that they have access to you.
Let a feeling reach your consciousness.
Welcome it by giving it a name and help it on its way.
In the aftermath of a feeling just expressed,
There is a kind of vacuum,
A fertile space.
Do not be quick to fill it up,
For emptiness has its own reward.
Your spirit inhabits all your space without filling it up.
May you stride into and through this day filled with peace and spirit.
Your gift today is to reach.
