First Light in Morning Rain

First light in morning rain: 

and the practice is to capture earliest light, to have it touch my eyes in greeting and begin the circadian rhythm that carries me through the day and even at this point prepares me for sleep and the comforts of night.  This is an important process, assisting the body's hormonal response of producing cortisol in the morning, energizing, a direct source of vitamin D (actually a hormone) and a prompt for this cycle to unwind later in the day and bring me peaceful slumber. Even now, with first light in morning rain, walking, and I am grateful for this practice...

my body aligned to the ways of nature.

earliest light to touch my eyes. 

it's become a practice, a term I like to use as it signifies specific purpose and value, an integral part of my day for health and to address some sleep concerns that have long plagued me. But it's been the beauty of early morning that really calls draws me to its light, a softer hue that grows with intensity though every moment, life awakening to its rays, the world coming more fully alive as the sun gains in presence and dawn subsides. That it's raining doesn't matter, it belongs, a pattern of light reflected through every drop that's falling, and I am awash in soft glow, illuminated, awakened...

simply part of nature.

reborn though first light in morning rain.
