Yesterday, I opened my front door to the Basilica de la Soledad glowing in the morning light. I grabbed my little Lumix and ran out to compose a photo to send as a Feliz Cumpleaños greeting to a friend celebrating his birthday.
And the song, Morning Has Broken by Yusuf Islam (aka, Cat Stevens), began playing in my mind. Ahhh…

This morning, I awoke before the crack of dawn. I’m a morning person, but 5:00 AM is ridiculous when one doesn’t have to go to work! However, after grinding my half oscuro and half claro blend (so glad I brought my coffee grinder down), brewing, and drinking my first cup of Oaxacan coffee of the day and finally answering some long overdue emails, I looked up. Two hours had passed and the sky had turned from black to clear blue. The early morning light beckoned me and my new camera outside and I discovered, I wasn’t alone. Morning is also for the birds.
Morning has broken, like the first morning.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.
“Morning Has Broken,” by Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens) kept playing in my mind. It was a lovely way to begin the day.
