Gentle


There was no fanfare today. The sunrise was gentle and subdued. The colours were muted and soft. They reminded me of the colours in the desert. The glow from the sun was delayed but it was golden and far reaching. The morning was blanketed in a certain calmness. Or maybe it was just me?

Being calm is a choice and one that I was reminded to make more often this morning. The day turns out differently when you begin from a state of calm. There is more opportunity to withstand the little challenges of the day. Plus, I was better able to look around and notice all of the beauty around me. That was worth it on it's own.
