The moon watches peacefully,
clutched in the sleepy grasp
of a stirring morning
as I, too, am waking
to the coming dawn.

"Wherever you are, you are in the right place to begin."
~ Gretchen Rubin

It is the letting go of what does not matter,
what cannot change,
and the laying hold of what always matters,
what has never changed
but rather transforms.
It begins with surrender.
