Winter Grace and Gentle Mornings

Another Gentle Morning

Another gentle morning unfolds;

I wipe the sleep from my eyes and greet the day.

"Good morning, sunshine! The earth says hello."

I open my arms for another day of loving.

Winter Grace

Silently the snow falls on Moscow, Idaho,

Feathering the Idahoan heart with wonder and cheer;

Out pop the spirits of hope, love and goodwill,

Singing songs of grace and peace.

"Dashing through the snow,

with one horse eating hay...."

Soubhiye'

Softly, softly the sound of silence.

Soubhiye' is that time in the morning 

when no one else is awake; 

Only you.

It's such a lovely time to quietly gather your thoughts 

without interruption, without purpose and without deadlines.

Soubhiye' is that time in the morning when the rest of world still sleeps 

And you have a refreshing and peaceful moment to yourself--

Letting your mind wander wherever and land wherever 

over that warming cuppa coffee or tea.

Who knows what inspiring or renewing path will

reveal itself during this golden time of renewal.

Gift yourself with soubhiye' daily.

Wishing you gentle mornings and Winter grace.
