this morning #1457.

this morning, i got up before dawn & sat out on the lawn waiting for a new sun to come up. settled in with a cool glass of iced tea. breathed in the air. this sun was going to be the one. i was sure of it. i’d dreamed of its arrival each of the last three nights. this sun was going to be the one where, when it arrives, i’ll look up at it & say without hesitation “hey there, sun. today’s the day. you & i have a lot to seize today. let’s get to it.” i know it sounds sort of corny but i have to trust that it’s true that the dawn of a new day still stands for something. starting with today’s sun, i’m going to try to make the most of my moments before i get too old. i just need some solar encouragement first so i can get things moving.
