On The Pulse of Morning

Maya Angelou

Lift up your eyes upon
This day breaking for you.
Give birth again
To the dream.

Quote of the Day

Silence touches us in so many ways: as something which offers sanctuary and tranquility, as something which brings us into touch with the inner depths which elude us in the hurly-burly of our everyday lives, as a source of joy, as an inspiration for art, literature or music, and because it awakens us to the present moment which can only be fully experienced with a mind that is free of preconceptions. These encounters can be the source of a wonderful clarity.

~ From THE SPIRIT OF SILENCE by John Lane
