The gentle awakening. A little nudge to the brain. "time we both got up." Says the sun.
Opening my eyes blearily, I begin to realise the gradual changes in the light,
as colours appear across the sky.
Blue, purple, pink, orange, yellow, all merging together.
They are enhanced by the dark, majestic eucalyptus,
and the soft ground with the dew still upon it.
The colours of the clouds alter to sliver grey and the sky grows increasingly blue.
The sun begins to warm the earth,
I become more aware of my surroundings.
I listen as all of creation rejoices at the new day.
At this moment I smile, watching my dog's exaltation as she bounds around,
pausing to sniff each smell that is of interest to her, relishing her freedom.
I thank my heavenly Father for the peace I experience at this time.
Here in this place.
In the dawning of the day.
"This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it"
Psalm 118:24
