The Light of Dawn

Sit outside facing east, before sunrise. The world is grey, birds are stirring, the city has not yet started its day. Watch the eastern sky as the first light arrives, slowly, slowly, then more clearly. Do not name the colours. Do not check the time. Simply let the light spread, and let your awareness spread with it. Inside and outside grow brighter together. By the time the sun appears, you will not be sitting watching the dawn. You will be the dawn, watching itself happen.
