Awake In The Morning

A moment of reflection.

I stand on a high ridge, looking eastward toward the sunrise, as the sky brightens and a new day begins. I feel renewed, reborn and alive with enthusiasm and joy. I am here and the situations and circumstances that arise today are perfect opportunities with which I can engage. The Earth refreshes itself and flourishes each day just as I do. I feel alive with possibilities and ready to dance.

Consciousness emerges within me and I am grateful to have this opportunity to be here in this world. Everything is alive and dancing with joy, changing and transforming in the most interesting ways. And I used to think this was a material world of objects which I was learning to navigate. The truth is that these shapes and forms I see are convenient interpretations that we place upon the patterns of energy around me, and we may change the way we interpret or see them. For the moment, though, they bless me with their familiarity and solidity. How fun is that!

I feel new, today, as though I just arrived here in this room and house, in Port Townsend, Washington, North America, Earth. I imagine I might feel the same, tomorrow. I love being here with my family and my friends.
