As the day dawns, I am surrounded by activity and busyness.

It is good to be still, to allow everything to happen without me.

Still learning how well things work without me.

Learning how to step aside when not needed, nothing to add or takeaway.

Learning how to live with the natural order of things.

There is a place and a time in our lives for ambition and accomplishment,

But it is equally important at the proper time to live without them.

To live with acceptance and trust.

To know that I may be making matters difficult, instead of better.

Today maybe a peaceful heart and a calm mind is my best contribution.

As the morning sun clears the eastern clouds, the tree line to the west turns gold

And I get to see it.
