today

is not just

any other day.

it has never before

been and will never 

be again.

~~~~

whatever 

the day holds

ahead, routine 

tasks or adventure

extreme, there are

riches to be gathered

therein.

~~~~

so, do not begin

with heart asleep

and waste the day 

away. take space, even 

for a moment, to stir up 

the light that lives within

and intentionally shine on 

this potentially phenomenal day.
