Before the Day Learns Your Name

Before emails arrive, before the phone vibrates, before the world starts asking who you are — there exists a narrow, precious space. That space is the morning.
I’ve learned that mornings don’t need enthusiasm; they need honesty. Some days you wake up ready, some days you wake up unsure, and some days you wake up simply tired. All are acceptable.
In younger years, I rushed through this hour as if it were a hurdle. Now I treat it like a doorway. Step through gently, without carrying yesterday’s noise.
If nothing else, give the day one truthful moment — a quiet thought, a steady breath, a small intention. That is enough to let the morning recognize you kindly.
