Are You Ready?

Jan 31, 2020

 

The sun started rising during my morning practices today. First, there was a dim light. Then, a gorgeous soft peach that filled the sky. Now, it's a muted golden orb above the mountains.

It occured to me, the sun never says to the earth,
"Are you ready for me? Ready for another day?"

And the earth never says to the rising sun,
"Could you hold off for a little a while?"

Life is happening, whether we're ready or not.

Time relentlessly moves on, however we spend it.

Here are some questions to roll around in your mind today:
