Sometimes the day doesn’t begin with an alarm, a kettle whistle, or a doorbell.
Sometimes it begins with light — slipping in through the smallest gap in the curtain, touching your face gently, as if reminding you, “You’re still here. One more chance. One more page.”
Across the world, morning arrives differently.
For some, it’s the call of birds.
For others, the low hum of traffic.
For someone in a quiet village, it might be the soft sweep of a broom on the courtyard.
For an old man in Denmark, it’s the glow of the first streetlamp switching off.
No matter where you are, one thing is common — the day asks nothing from you in the first few minutes.
Just breathe.
Just arrive.
