Dawn

The sight of the sun rising always fills me with promise and hope even in dark times. As Derek Wolcott puts it in this poem:

I may have many sorrows,

Dawn is not one of them.

Don't forget - tomorrow, Monday, January 9th begins the Ten-Day Mindfulness Challenge! Whether you get up early or you are more of a night person, the practices will be ready when you are.

Alba

by Derek Wolcott

Dawn breaking as I woke,

With the sweat of the dew

On the green, new grass.

I walked in the cold, quiet as

If it were the world beginning;

Peeling and eating a chilled tangerine.

I may have many sorrows,

Dawn is not one of them.
