Sometimes the day begins not with noise, not with alarms, not even with thought — but with a quiet pause before the sun slips in. That little space where the world has not yet decided its speed. For a few breaths, life feels like a page waiting to be written, not demanded.
Across cities, villages, and silent winter towns, people rise differently — some with the softness of dawn, some long after it. But every rise carries one truth: a new day does not ask who we were yesterday; it simply hands us a fresh draft.
If you woke with a worry, keep it aside.
If you woke with a small spark, guard it gently.
The moment before the sun arrives belongs entirely to you.
