waking early enough to beat the alarm brings a sense of peace for me.
a day with no deafening sound of a buzzer - allows me to wake in silence and breath
i take in the moments before the world beckons me to launch into action to serve It.
for a deliciously lazy moment I can quell the usual anxiety that tumults me out of bed
a morning of knowing that i can create time to stoke the fire and make coffee
brings me to a quiet self love - and joy - a joy that puts all the right things in perspective
it reminds me to turn to the one i love and hold a little longer
share space and time in the presence of peace -love a little purer
it makes me listen to his soft snore and feel the fatigue of his body
and i know that i am not lonely - i have no expectations - he sleeps
this time and space gives me the quiet to pray and feel a profound love that God has opened a new day - and i am strengthened in the calm
the quiet, the stillness brings me into deep intimacy of soul and holds the parameters of a sanctuary of home - just a little while more before the world takes everything i have out of me.
hold it a little longer
love a little purer
creating peace
finding joy
stripping away the stress that no longer defines me
i take the time to rise early...
and stay in bed...a little longer
