In day’s first hours
consciousness can grasp the world
as the hand grips a sun-warmed stone.

Consciousness sorta arrives to me in a fog..as I put one finger out to loop it in…
Beautifully described, I think for me too.
A little coffee helps to grease the slides as well…
And if one is not a coffee drinker, then what?
A few deep breaths and some quiet reflection, followed by an hour of pulse-pounding P90X. 😊 I’m outta here….
P90X. Right. Exactly what I need. I have to give it to you, you stay at it. Inspirational, really.
Awww, thx pal. Bottom line…I have to do something to burn off excess energy each day or I’m unbearable, even for myself. Exercise=sanity. Have a great weekend!
You too Lori.
take it all in.
I like your thoughtfulness. It takes time and so many of us seem to have none. I like the time you take. Thank you!
Hi Sarah. Thank you for the kind words and for noticing. I’ve been blessed with wonderful followers and friends and the least I can do is respect their time. Thanks again. You made my day.
So, you don’t have a sleeping problem. You’re up early grasping the world, no?
I love that spin. Yes. Exactly. 😃
Someone has to do it, grasp this world, for the rest of us.
Oh yes. True
very beautiful
Hi Candice. I agree.
