What Is The Rush?

 Lately, I let my body wake me rather than the alarm clock.  I generally don’t have to schedule really early morning things.  I am aware, though, of how I can push myself into some mental, emotional schedule that I think is fear based.  If I don’t get up at a certain time, someone will steal our newspaper.  If I don’t go out and run in the early dark, go to the gym, I will be unhealthy and die.  If this or that does not work I have an episode.  And so on.  Where is God in all this?  Bemused, I suspect.  I am trying to be present to the stillness and quiet of the early morning.  This is a gift to me.  Just let God be.  No fear.
