Qualities to a Morning's Silence

Qualities to a morning's silence: 

will the right words come to me? Any words at all? There are some mornings that seem to cause me wonder this, leading me consider if this will be day when writing just doesn't happen, inspiration having failed to make its presence known. There are qualities to a morning's silence, a certain air that hints of what's to come my way as far as words are concerned. Sometimes I wake with a first breath of inspiration, ideas already present and urging me quickly to my desk, words fairly leaping from my fingers and I can barely contain them through slowness of my typing. 

while there are other mornings....

and silence has a deeper hold, ideas are less forthcoming, there is nothing urgent to be told. This is quite common morning for me, perhaps most really. I am asked to wait, the quality of the morning is of patience, contemplative, and words seem to find their way to the page singularly, or several at a time, clusters of small creativity being expressed in their own time and order. 

I've come to learn the qualities of a morning's silence quite well.

it's a rare morning that leaves me wondering if words will come at all - a heavier quality here, weighted by an air of presence, and I am urged to join the silence, to simply sit and allow the day to emerge wordless, full of the same grace and wonder but without the need to write of them right now. The quality of the morning is of experience, to allow myself to breath the air of this silence as it is at this one precious moment, and no word is ever apt to describe this, no reason to even try. 

it's enough to just experience.

there are qualities to a morning's silence - and everyone of one of them is valuable, cherished for exactly and only what it offers in its moment. I am called to listen to the silence, to experience and breath the air of each quality as it comes to me, nothing more than this, and any written word is found to be a bonus, a gift. I know this, deeply so, even as I ask if words will ever find me...
