"Each Day"

I have come across this reading many times

and I just love it, so I would like to share it with you.

Enjoy.

"At the beginning of each day,

 after we open our eyes

to receive the light

of that day,

As we listen to the voices

and sounds

that surround us,

We must resolve to treat each hour

as the rarest of gifts,

 and be grateful

 for the consciousness

 that allows us to experience it,

recalling in thanks

that our awareness is a present

 from we know not where,

 or how, or why.

When we rise from sleep let us rise for the joy

of the true Work that we will be about

this day,

and considerately cheer one another on.

Life will always provide matters for concern.

Each day, however, brings with it reasons for

 joy.

Every day carries the potential

to bring the experience of heaven;

have the courage to expect good from it.

Be gentle with this life,

and us the light of life

to live fully in your time."

-McQuiston II, John;  Always We Begin Again
