Morning is the key. A friend advised me to ‘wake with enthusiasm to the dawning of each day’. I like that ’cause when I write I feel like I am opening windows to let the light pour in.*

Much of the introduction to the field was a playful activity, and the learning at the beginning of this stage was much like a game.**
Benjamin Bloom

How important to begin the day with enthusiasm, our
sunshine for whatever may follow –
Feed the body with cornflakes or porridge,
Feed the heart with whatever produces
alacrity in you.

Today the sky is one constant grey,
Everywhere is soaked and there’s more
rain to come, so I read and journal and
doodle to let some sunshine in, to
provide me some playtime at the day’s dawn:
Opening and exploring and experimenting.

We converge too quickly into a day,
First, diverge to see what may emerge,
It may well be the sunshine
someone else is looking for.
