Liquid Gold Awakening

Liquid Gold Awakening

My eyes open slowly
gray gives way first to liquid gold sunlight
then the greens of the trees filter through
as unconsciousness peels away
I emerge into the realization
I have the gift of another day
I feel my own breath expand
and I expand with it
and the colors and flavors and smells
of the earth and kitchen and kitty litter
all whirl around throughout my day
once in awhile I pause
and realize I am on sacred ground
in sacred time
and this amazing joyous life I call mine
is simply the Divine
in one of it's disguises
and then I return to chopping vegetables
and taking the dogs for a run
