A lovely inspirational read as always! When I worked full time as a teacher, I made it a regular thing to be up at 5am to have some 'me' time, either meditating or doing yoga. You have reminded me how special that time was and I feel compelled to try it again, even though the only 'alarm clock' now are the dogs waiting for a pee or the horse and donkey anticipating breakfast. I love your views too, so magical.
Barbara, I missed this post when you published it but now I know why... I needed to read this TODAY. My sleep has been so disorganized of late. I'm going to attempt meditation during those times in the middle of the night when I'm flopping around getting more and more pissed off. 😠 😂
This is so lovely! I’m always waking at 3 am, but I never get up. The times when I’ve gotten up with the sunrise, I love it so much. There’s something so magical about the light at sunrise. I love the Rumi poem. 💙
THE COZIEST!!!!! UGH!!! This post is dreamy as dreams come!! The absolute best!!!! My only wish was that I could have shared this with my Mom. 🤎 she wasn't a big fan like we are of the early dark... BUT she loved the dark mornings. Before the rest of the world is awake. My favorite!! I had been sleeping very eradicate hours due to pain, depression and grief. Then of course surgery... then I sustained an injury and then a very very bad cold. While I am still not in the clear, I have started to rise early again... I can feel it healing me !!!! I love it!!!! And I love you, so much ❤ sweetest dreams

Thanks for this lovely reminder.
Now I will try to think of the darkness (early!) as a comforting blanket. The photos are gorgeous!
