SHARING
IS
CARING
In the quiet darkness of the early morning, your eyes
opened up. You could the biggest light to the smallest light, from
the giants stars above to the tiny fireflies on the earth. When it's
dark, the eyes wonder around to see a light - no matter how small.
It is truly a spiritual moment, and it's fleeting.
Not too long, the athan (call to prayer) is called and dawn begins to
enter. The birds are awake and soon the cars will too. The world will
start over and the noise will take over. But hopefully, the quiet calm
of the pre-dawn lingers on and the feeling you experienced then
will navigate you during the day.
You walk among the busy, with your own business, but with a
different focus. You see things differently, as you are able to
distinguish between things and not see them all as the same. You
have centered yourself around the essential, not the important or
the urgent.
The morning calm has transformed you, but only for a while. The
gravity of the world is strong and soon you will be drawn to it again,
taking you further and further from your center. Hopefully, the
morning calm will come again to revive, to rejuvenate, and to
remind.
