After writing in my journal as usual this morning, I booted my laptop & turned on the television a few minutes after 8:00 as I made coffee ... discovered Wayne Dyer speaking on the topic of INSPIRATION ... and found myself captivated when he shared the following quote:
"The morning breeze has secrets to tell you.
Do not go back to sleep."
---Rumi
I've risen earlier than usual the past few days ... throwing my sleep cycle off. Fortunately I'm "happily retired" ... so this doesn't create the problems for me that it might for others. I did find it interesting to receive this reinforcement for I know the truth conveyed by
A Course in Miracles as follows:
"The memory of God comes to the quiet mind."
When Dr. Dyer asked his audience to raise their hands if they wake between 3 and 4 in the morning, I was astonished to see so many respond in the affirmative. Not many indicated that they actually rise at that time, but he encouraged those who were willing to try put their feet on the floor and listen receptively the next time they awakened early ... indicating the wee hours are when we are closest to Spirit.
I find myself wondering how many "early birds"
...(or Larks, as my friend J refers to us)...
are out there?
