I was shuffling around the house
early this morning,
checking the running list in my head
of all the things to get done in a day.
Was I still tired…or already tired?
Then I passed by my front door
and caught a ribbon of
purple, orange and yellow
out of the corner of my eye.
I stopped in my tracks
and saw this stunning sunrise
illuminating the sky between
two houses across the street.
I just watched for a minute
and forgot about the running list,
about getting anywhere on time.
I felt grateful for the light,
for this morning miracle that never
forgets us to show up for us.
Every morning, right on time,
the sun comes up…
some days with a little more
fanfare than others.
