Wednesday Morning Wake-Up Call

Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims (A.W. Hayn, 1851)


Notes:

Sunday Morning

Softest of mornings, hello.
And what will you do today, I wonder,
to my heart?

Mary Oliver, from “Softest of Mornings” in “A Thousand Mornings: Poems” (Penguin Books, 2012)
