The air is refreshingly cool this morning even though the sun is bright . I savor and relish in this mornings when I don’t have to go rushing off .
The morning quietness is a freedom all its own . Freedom from the harsh sounds of this world’s man made demands . Freedom society’s pushes and pulls . Freedom from the dictates of ego and one’s not your own .
Awakening gently into a new day of birdsongs dancing through the air and with light , cool breezes ever so subtly caressing the awakening joy of the freedom to just be .
The toils and turbulence of yesterday’s work day are nearly gone and in its place a quiet, deep peace .
What is freedom if it is not to awaken every day knowing that you can be who your are .
Gentle breezes and birdsongs and loving contemplation is my freedom today .
“Waking to a day free from the pulls of commitments allows for time and experiences to unfold with ease .
Early morning peacefulness , just before sun up , cool breezes and lone song birds seeming to take turns heralding the day’s arrival as I become aware of my breath . Slow and deep .
The light , beautiful and inviting , expands with subtlety like a whisper . I even catch a glimpse of a dragonfly floating by .
Mornings like this a cherished gift of this life . “

A seemingly endless sky with it’s changing beauty opening the way toward imaginings.
And flowing deep waters inspiring joyous movement and possibilities .
While being held along the shores by old growth trees mixed with new inviting a sense
of comfort and continuity . There is a mystery , perhaps a bit magnificent , in the
mists that move in between the mountains and the flowing waters .
In an outwardly quiet pause the view invites me to expand my spirit and soar .
