A quiet morning page
One page to read before the day gets loud. Nothing to complete.
Before the day gets loud
You do not need to understand the whole day yet.
The messages can wait for a few minutes.
The unfinished things will still be unfinished when you return to them.
For now, notice what is already here.
The temperature of the room.
The first sound outside.
The part of your body touching the chair, floor or bed.
The thought that arrived before you asked for it.
You do not have to solve that thought.
Let it pass through without turning it into an instruction.
The day will ask you to become several people.
The person who answers.
The person who decides.
The person who remembers what everyone else forgot.
Keep one small part of yourself outside those roles.
A preference.
A slower breath.
A cup finished while it is still warm.
One honest no.
One task done without proving anything.
You are allowed to enter the day as a person before you become useful inside it.
Read this once.
Then begin where you are.
