Early morning is the best time of day and for some of us, a special time of day for this is when we meditate and commune with the Divine either in silence or prayer. We can do this in our own homes or out in the country-side. It’s that special time between night opening up into day, a quiet time before the world really awakens, before our consciousness becomes involved with everyday duties and becoming outward moving.

To start the day in this way colours everything we do afterwards, it sets our mood, it brings a calmness, a thoughtfulness.

This following poem will touch your heart:

I met God in the morning, when my day was at its best.
And His presence came like sunrise, like a glory in my breast.
All day long the presence lingered, all day long he stayed with me.
And we sailed in perfect calmness, over a very troubled sea.
So I think I know the secret, learned from many a troubled way.
You must seek Him in the morning, if you want Him through the day.

Ralph Cushman

Maybe you already know and experience how special dawn can be and how you can feel the touch of that which is very special!
