I got up in the darkness.  As I drove to teach very early in the morning recently, suddenly I looked up and felt awe.  It was so brilliant to me, I could not look away, and these words spilled off my tongue.  May you capture these moments that take your breath away, and keep them before you on a rainy day.

There is something about when the sun rises first thing in the morning, the clouds have a pinkish hue, and the blue is so blue, my heart is filled with hope like everything is fresh and new.

I did not see it coming up, that which fills my soul, overflows my cup,  the sun that’s rising fresh and new, with clouds scraped pillows through, and something I did not expect to see, feels completely new to me.

How I love to see the sunrise, joy warmed over, complete surprise,  making my day like none before, a ray of light that opens a new door;  blue skies, pink clouds with a yellow sheet,  I’m sitting so small looking underneath.  Opening to the limitless, a smile covers my face, joy in my heart, a day full of grace.
