At dawn

5 am . It's not often that I am awake at this time.
It's stilll dark outside.
I can hear the birds singing .
Sometimes they start singing already at 1 am .
Strange.
Why am i unable to sleep ?
Something is keeping me awake.
No time to sleep
Is it the anticipation of the shiatsu session later to day ?
Stillness. Few thoughts.
Rainbow poem ....

THE RAINBOW

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

-- William Wordsworth

Bread dough is rising in the kitchen
This is the time of day for bread ,isn't it ?
Bread dough rising to meet the dawn.

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity"
Albert Einstein
