Morning Glory

In the morning solitude, I wake to a new day and a new beginning. As I stir in the stillness of the luminescent early light, I awake my soul. Sitting quietly, I let my thoughts fly to the light within me. I remind myself that this radiant illumination vibrating from my very core is always enough to sustain me; it allows me to unite with the light of the world.

During this still dreamy state, I hear the first song of the morning dove and start to envision the dance of the hummingbirds to come. The charming chime inspires happiness and reassurance, with which I can greet the day, and sets the stage for my daily intentions.

Today, I will choose to walk in love and gratitude with my heart as my compass. I will look for treasured miracles in small, simple moments like the flight of a raven or the delightful laughter of a child. I will lovingly connect to my inner source with a warm, tender embrace, gently guiding my flow of energy towards positivity and tranquility. It is in laying down the defenses I’ve built that the peace of my heart liberates my spirit.

I will choose to walk with purpose and confidence in my ability to give and receive love; there is immeasurable peace in releasing judgment of myself and others. Forgiveness heals the heart and mind and provides freedom for the soul.

I will leave my past behind, as every experience was a blessing, and only beauty endures. My soul remains whole, even with the mistakes I’ve made. There is no cause for regret. I cannot change the world, but instead, I can change my thoughts about the world I’d like to see.

I have borne witness to my spirit’s expansion. I allow myself permission to appreciate how far I’ve come. Remaining present, I will allow each moment to unfold naturally, relinquishing control while remembering that future worries do not serve me well, and time is a precious gift. I cannot control the future, but I have absolute control of this present moment.

I am grateful for the breath in my lungs and the beating heart in my chest, which gives me life. I am not limited. There is immeasurable power, wisdom, and strength within me that I can call on at any time. I trust in this truth. I am safe and protected in the love and grace that surrounds me, and I gratefully welcome the morning glory.
