In Our Time

The dusk drew earlier in,
The morning foreign shone--
A courteous, yet harrowing grace,
As guest who would be gone.

Morning is like the tide coming in, washing over the debris of half-finished lives and presenting once again, for this day at least, new opportunities for holiness. It is a kind of sacrament -- a means of grace, if you will -- and like all means of grace, it really does deliver what it promises.

Each morning is a fresh beginning. We are, as it were, just beginning life. We have it entirely in our own hands. And when the morning with its fresh beginning comes, all yesterdays should be yesterdays, with which we have nothing to do. Sufficient is it to know that the way we lived our yesterday has determined for us our today.

RALPH WALDO TRINE

In Tune With the Infinite


It is only in the morning that one should marry, read unfavourable reviews, make one's will, beat one's servants, and so forth.

E. T. A. HOFFMANN

"Princess Brambilla", The Golden Pot and Other Tales


The sun just touched the morning;
The morning, happy thing,
Supposed that he had come to dwell,
And life would be all spring.

Dawn, thy opportunity is full! We, alas, know not the meaning of thy gorgeous page. Dazed we watch thy letters pale; cold embers, left upon the sky; Life's opportunity flickering into naught.

Will there really be a morning?
Is there such a thing as day?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!"

STEVE MARABOLI

Unapologetically You


But the morning is a time for exultant expressions, for then the soul awakens with all nature and rises in rapturous praise over blessings which it is our daily lot to enjoy.

J. M. H.

"Morning Meditations", The Bay View Magazine, Volume 17


Of all the things we fashioned for them that they might be comforted, dawn is the one that works. When darkness sifts from the air like fine soft soot and light spreads slowly out of the east then all but the most wretched of humankind rally.

Enormous morning, ponderous, meticulous;
gray light streaking each bare branch,
each single twig, along one side,
making another tree, of glassy veins.

Morning will find us curled beside the graves
we dug, without strength to roll ourselves in.

Came furrowing all the orient into gold.
