Forever Morning Of Awakening
/I Wish It Could Be Morning Forever
Is it truly possible that in all these years of my life, I have really not done anything?
Isn't it strange that after achieving three university degrees, publishing two articles in medical journals, singing with the San Francisco International Opera, working in the legal field, living abroad, and providing medical care for thousands of patients, that you could feel like, well... haven't done that much.
It's as if that was then, and this is now.
No One Described This Part
No one tells you about this getting older part when everything turns inside out. When all the accomplishing, the achieving, the goals obtained, start to fade into dust-like particles.
Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad I did all those things, it's just that now...
What Will Be Of These Last Years Of My Life?
Assuming all goes well, knock on wood, I'll only have about another 20 to get things done. And even considering that, who cares what a 70-year-old says or does?
No one.
I'm already experiencing that in my 50s, it can only go down from here. Yikes. I feel like I've only got a day left to do everything.
Hence, why I want it to remain forever morning.
Early Morning Is Mystical
A forever morning evokes a precious jewel box, tucked inside is the sparkling promise of an entire day. The jewel held inside has awakening, coffee, projects, and plans. Everything can still be accomplished.
Heralded by those first rays of a dawning sun, an early morning is rich with secrets of all that is fresh and new. Yesterday's heavy energies are muted by the softness of a healing night that has passed.
This magical prelude to the day is brief. I drink it in with my coffee and savor the fleeting sparkles of the day's promises.
Wishing for it to linger, I attempt to persuade these ephemeral moments to tarry, but the steadfast sun pays me no heed and moves ever upward in its determined climb.
Full morning bursts upon the scene accompanied by a din of noise pouring forth from the flurry of activities.
Gratitude Each Morning
Each morning graciously presents another opportunity to travel from sunrise to sunset.
Awakening. In hazy dreams of awakening, we awaken to the morning. We awaken to the meaning of our lives.
We are striding into a forever morning of awakening. Sometimes, we're stumbling. It's okay. Keep going.
