Good
morning, world!
I
breathe in deeply as I walk out to the recycling bins down the driveway, a
breath of pine, of oak, of warming sun filtered through trees, of fine-ground
French roast coffee on my fingertips; not yet of frying onions and meat (the
Italian Sunday lunch smells).
I
am happy to be awake to a new morning.
I
am happy to find this, a similar thought and feeling, from Mary Oliver’s poem “Sunrise”—
What is the name
of the deep breath I would takeover and overfor all of us? Call itwhatever you want, it ishappiness, it is another oneof the ways to enterfire.
