Have you ever watched the day create itself from the darkness? A candle in my window flickers as I watch the miracle of creation. Each morning I create myself too, more peaceful and accepting than I was yesterday.

I WAKE CLOSE TO MORNING – Mary Oliver
Why do people keep asking to see
God’s identity papers
when the darkness opening into morning
is more than enough?
Certainly any god might turn away in disgust.
Think of Sheba approaching
the kingdom of Solomon.
Do you think she had to ask,
“Is this the place?”

I love watching the day come alive as the sunrise overtakes the night sky. And I too try and create myself each day into a more positive, peaceful and compassionate person than I was when I went to sleep. Some days are harder than others, but I continue trying. I love today’s blog Linda, and I love you 💕!
