Sunrise over Hyde Park
As I motorcycled my way to work today, the sun was visible, rising over Hyde Park at 6.30am for the first time in five months. And what a joy it was to behold. During the winter months at this time, the park looks dark and forbidding, but today it has all changed. The sun dazzled obliquely through the trees, glistening the frost on grass and dew on budding twigs, bringing with it hope and anticipation of a new day. For a few moments, gone are the concerns of my own little world, the problems of work (not that I have any really), traumas and difficulties at home (of which there are none either) and all the other little worries and concerns that can overwhelmingly consume us, distracting our attention away from the fact that there is a wonderful big world out there beyond our normal realm of perception.
The sun dazzled my eyes this morning to remind me how small and insignificant are my own personal concerns when there is such magnificence and magnitude of experience to be had in the simple start of a new day. How refreshing it is, when we can pause a moment and have a reality check put our own life into context of the bigger picture. And with this sparkling beginning to Wednesday, I feel a thrill of excitement, a bubble of happiness, a little skip of a heartbeat and the awareness that there is so much out there waiting to be discovered and experienced. So despite what happened yesterday, today is certainly a new day, a new beginning, the chance to repair, to make amends, to start over. It's the chance to begin something new, to do something extraordinary, to go for what really matters, to make a difference, to make a positive and uplifting impression, to contribute and help others too feel that today is a great day to be having, to step out anew.
It's a good day to leave yesterday behind and realise that the day holds unbounded opportunities to make of what we will, to go for the big one, or to just enjoy the moment that we're in right now. The sun is shining; there is much to enjoy.
Seeing the sunrise early this morning was a great thing to have happened today, but it won't be the last....
Have a great day.
