Why I Wake Early

"Hello, sun in my face
Hello, you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety -
best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light -
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how i start the day
in happiness, in kindness."
- Mary Oliver

i *might* become a station i/c. it's up to the teachers. either way, i'm thankful. not because i might still be able to go for ltc (of course, there's that too), but mainly because i actually came to terms with it. i was afraid i would be utterly disappointed and start crying. which was why i asked amanda along. [thank you!] but i didn't, and maybe it's because i wasn't completely crushed, but i like to believe it's because i came to accept whatever God willed last night. He who keeps us from ever-darkness, and who put the sun in the sky.
