News is full of worries and woes. I awaken. I open the deck doors, letting in the morning sounds: a sealion honking, birds twittering, an eagle cawing, the sea rolling onto the shore. I breathe deeply. Slowly. Softly. Contentment settles. My heart breaks open with delight. The news can wait.

I hope you pour a cup of your favourite morning bevvie and join me for a calm and serene morning reflection.
