"We are all on the journey from darkness to light.

A circular yet a mysteriously never ending spiral journey home.

Dawn is a time of homecoming and promise.

The seeds of possibility pull me from the bed.

The sacred convergence of darkness with the loyalty of

the light summons me to worship at this magical altar.

Dawn.

Like a child on Christmas morning I quickly rise up.

Presence kissing wonder.

The rapture of awe calling my name."

This is a poem!

Thank you so much for reminding me of the beauty of dawn. I love to greet the day with a nice coffee and watching the sunrise myself. It is certainly easier to do so in winter, as the sun rises later. ;-) I totally share your passion for the mystery of dawn, the magic of coffee and the poetry of an early sunrise!

I so relate to this Jamie and have a very similar morning ritual:

"My blood dances to the magic light of the moment in a meditation of creation. Words come to find me. Birdsong serenades me with chorus and with pen in hand I mystically turn coffee into ink." Love it.

Many think I am mad to rise so early. But why would I stay in bed and miss that sacred time?! This is the best I have read of you yet. Thank you. Jo

Thanks Bonnie for reading and reaching out. The sacred things often come for free and are right in front of us.
