“how to greet the moment”
what is my first thought
upon waking?
when after hours
of living in vivid dream-worlds
i wake up and recognize
myself for myself
marveling to find myself
in this familiar body
with the same set of ideals
and bothersome habits
so i ponder how to greet the moment,
when consciousness and awareness returns
may my first thought be
Thank You!
gratitude for the gift of another day
of living in this Great Mystery.
