Before the day learns your name, it is kind to you.
No one has asked anything yet. No expectation has arrived. The world is still deciding what to demand.
This small window — just after waking — is where I try to stay a little longer now. Earlier, I rushed out of it. I thought speed meant seriousness. It didn’t. It only meant noise.
There was a time when mornings felt endless. We had nowhere important to go and still managed to reach everywhere. Today, we have calendars full and feel unfinished by noon.
If you’re awake early where you are, don’t fill the silence immediately. Let the day approach you gently. You don’t need to announce yourself to it yet.
Some mornings are meant to be anonymous.
They protect you before the world begins.
