[Thespiritexpress] Poem read at Mastery: Morning

[Doug Smith]

Riantee, c'est vrai! Perfect! These are my mornings many times, as I get ready for work. Sooo tired. Thinking "am I too old for this"? But the light of the sun or fog shroud in the trees is beautiful and pulls me into the day! Namaste. Thanks for this sharing! 

Love to you all, 
Doug
