The way to start a day is this -
Go outside
and face the east
and greet the sun
with some kind of
blessing
or chant
or song
that you made yourself
and keep for
early morning.

The way to make the song is this -
Don't try to think
what words to use
until
you're standing there
alone.

When you feel the sun
you'll feel
the song too.
Just sing it.

and you'll be
one more person
in one more place
at one more
time
in the world
saying
hello to the sun,
letting it know you are there.

If the sky turns a color
sky never was before
just watch it.

That's part of the magic.
That's the way
to start
a day.
