THE SUNRISE IS GONE

THE SUNRISE IS GONE

Picture

I am a morning person.
I love the magical darkness right before the sun appears to wake up the world.


I sit in my office, coffee in hand, watching through my window as the sun opens my day filling it with a slow painting of pink, yellow and orange.  My coffee cup warming my hand and the steam teasing my nose as the spectacular painting of color fills my heart and wakes my soul.


The painting is different every day.
Some days a little more orange, some days a little more pink, but every day I watch the masterpiece unfold. 

Until now.
The sunrise is gone. 

The building began last fall.  First it was one house- then another and another.



With each one I adjusted my position to see a different angle of the sunrise.  Then I realized I was down to a one small sliver between two homes where I could still see the bright colors of my morning. 

 Now, the last home is being built. The wedge of space which held my morning ritual is filled in.

The sunrise is gone.

Normally I like change.

I love to experience the way life rearranges itself like the furniture in my living room.  Every so often the couch looks better under the window than it does in front of the fireplace.


My difficulty comes when adapting to the movement of out-of-sight change.

Is the sunrise really gone?

No.

No more than the blue sky is gone on a cloudy day.  The sky is still blue behind the clouds.

No more than a friend who moved across country has disappeared. They are still there even though they use a different zip code to be located.

And I believe no more than a loved one is gone from our life, heart and spirit even though they have passed away.

All of these things require an  adjustment of the way we see them; the way we enjoy them; and the way we allow them to warm our souls.

I don’t think a walk at daybreak is a bad thing. The sunrise waits for me past the new houses at the end of the street.


Pennie’s Life Lesson: “The sun rises every morning even if it is hidden from your view.”

YOUR TURN...         
My intent in sharing this with you is to encourage you notice the areas of life you believe are gone just because they are not in your line of sight.  What do you need to adjust in your life to be able to see them clearly? Don't be afraid to do it!

A lovely call back to the beauty we've moved our eyes down from. What evolutions of life must we do to return to the warmth and light? Sometimes it's no more difficult than a morning walk.

You are absolutely correct. Sometimes it is the simplest answers to the questions we create for ourselves. Thank you for your comment!

    There is a certain magic about where I live both physically and spiritually – on the crossroads of Spirit and Brave. 

    It seems appropriate that my writings be found under the sign that locates my life.  I wish for all of you the ability to live in your Spirit to experience a life filled with love and gratitude and be Brave in the learning of your life lessons. 

    Enjoy!
