Morning

In his 17th-century composition, “Awake My Soul,” Thomas Ken challenges me to “shake off your sleep, and joyful rise to pay your morning sacrifice.” And I am reminded of a time each morning in the silent warmth of early darkness, in the deliciously comfortable lethargy of waiting, that I must choose anew to move forward into the day that awaits.
