I’m not really a morning person. Given the chance to sleep in, I most likely would – although what I call “sleeping in” is very different from what others might call “sleeping in”. For me, sleeping past 8 AM is sleeping in  – I don’t think I’ve ever slept until noon – not even when sick!

But, when I do manage to rise early – earlier than my norm of 6 or 7 – I find that I deeply enjoy it! There is something so peaceful about the silence, the potential of the day. Much like the Fool in my original post, the air seems pregnant with possibilities. It is the start of a new day and anything can happen. The world around you seemingly still sleeps and you can almost get the feeling that you are the only soul left alive on the planet. 

This for me is the best time to connect with what I like to call – The Divine – also known as: God, Allah, Source, The Universe, Higher Self, The Creator, and any other myriad of names. I like “The Divine” when speaking to others about it, because it gives a sense of the Magnificence required and yet cannot be easily claimed by a particular dogma.

In these quiet morning moments, though, as I breathe deeply, I can truly sense with all my senses, my connection with the Divine and ultimately my interconnection with every other living being out there. In the quiet of the morning our hearts all beat as One with the rhythm of the Earth – pulsing with the energy required to thrust us into the new day.

What does your day have in store for you? Take some time after connecting with Creation to mentally plan your day. See yourself going about your activities in a meaningful and easy way. See everything happening as it should. What does your day have in store for you? Choose it and make it happen!

Namaste,
