I will admit that I do not own an alarm clock. I just wake up in my cozy bed well before every other person in my home (and probably my neighborhood). I fall into the extreme morning person category. So, I spend my morning time fully awake in the stillness and I am thankful for the darkness of the night, where the stars shine bright down upon my path. This morning as I was walking, I was excited to be without the moon. Don't get me wrong; I love the moon. As a moon lover, I enjoyed the recumbent sliver yesterday and assumed it was a new moon morning.
My mind began racing with ideas...What do I want this month? what goal lies in my path? what do I really, really REALLY want? Just as I was rounding the last bend on my walk, like a little knowing smile in the sky, the moon shone down to meet me. I have a little more time to ponder and to meditate on this question.
The darkness of the morning is a fall occurrence. As I walk in the summer, I enjoy dawn's early light and the coming of the morning greeting me, as do other people out moving their bodies. The beauty of the darkness for me is the contrast. The brightness of the stars and the amazing moon loving me from above.
As you find your stillness and silence, what do you really want?
