Good Morning, God
I woke up in time to get out for a walk to see the sun rise over the mountains. Kit and I started do this — watching the sun rise over the marina — back in Honolulu on November 14, 2023. The sun moves — appears to move as we twirl –steadily across the sky all day long. But there are only two times where the movement is clearly visible. The time of the sun’s RISING and its SETTING. t
Those times of transitioning — from being see — to not being seen — have a powerful impact on me. I do not remember what first propelled us on this path of WANTING to see the sun rise. I am a night person. And so if I rise while it is still dark it is somehow much easier for me. Kit however was the quintessential Morning Person. So mayhap it was his idea? No matter. For me the JOY of it has persisted. So here I am — quite a few turns in the road, later — still loving the first glimpse of the Orb peeking over the mountains.
This morning on my walk, just as I was approaching the bottom of the hill, I was struck by the realization that I was no longer taking care of Kit. DUH! Kit died at the end of 2024! But at that moment I shifted from knowing with my head and heart — to knowing with my body! It was a VISCERAL realization.
It stopped me in my tracks. And I stood there just “feeling” it. Sandy asked me, “Did it feel good or . . .bad?” And I said, IT FELT SURPRISING! My Body suddenly KNEW! She was no longer responsible for Kit. She could release Kit into God’s hands. It was a profound moment of “letting go”.
Apparently, while my Mind was “lost” and my Heart was “grieving”, my Body had just kept on being “responsible”. What a GOOD and FAITHFUL body You have given me, God. I am thankful for those qualities! But I am even MORE thankful to have had my body finally make the TURN. I shall sleep more deeply tonight.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
