Today’s Mandala
Daybreak
“A rare experience
— Charles Ives
of a moment at daybreak,
when something in nature
seems to reveal all consciousness,
cannot be explained at noon.
Yet it is part of the day’s unity.”
“It is well to be up before daybreak,
— Aristotle
for such habits contribute
to health, wealth, and wisdom.”
“But do not look down
— Wang Anyi
on even the most minute of things;
for with the coming of daybreak,
even the tiniest particles of dust
in this world
sing and dance
in the sunlight.”
Today’s MotD encourages us to celebrate each new day, for with it comes new opportunities, new possibilities, new perspectives. Just acknowledging that we made it to another day is a miracle; not everyone gets another day.
One way we can celebrate is by creating an uplifting morning routine, whether short (a few minutes) or long (30+ minutes). For some ideas, check out 30 Morning Rituals to Bring You Joy by Amanda Kohr on Wanderlust.com
Leaving behind
— Maya Angelou
nights of terror and fear, I rise.
Into a daybreak
that’s wondrously clear, I rise.
And I just had to include some of the lyrics from Barry Manilow’s song: “Daybreak”. (click on lyrics to hear it on YouTube.com…I guarantee this song will stay with you all day…you’re welcome 🤗 )
