The world awakens each day from its nightly slumber, transformed by a sparkling layer of morning dew on the grass, on flower petals and leaves, on cars and car windows. These glistening droplets last only a little while, an integral part of what imbues the early morning with its aura of magic. If we sleep too late, we miss the magnificent display of sunlight playing upon an infinite amount of tiny crystal balls. To step onto the dew-covered grass is to anoint our feet with a form of water that comes only once a day for a short time, a rarefied gift of the night air that will soon evaporate in the full light of the sun. If we inhale slowly and consciously enough, it is almost as if we are drinking in this magical elixir formed in the boundary between darkness and light.
In one myth, morning dew is believed to be tears from heaven, and in another, the droplets are poured from the vessel of the goddess of dawn. When we see the earth draped with these shimmering drops, it is easy to imagine fairies bathing in the water, or a sky god weeping from a longing to be closer to his beloved earth goddess. Seeing the sparkling beauty of the earth emerging from darkness, we may understand this longing in terms of our own gratitude; how blessed we are to be here.
Perhaps heaven really does long to be here on earth, and perhaps that is why we are heres conduits between the divine and the earthbound. As we drink the morning dew in with our eyes, our skin, our breath, it is easy to imagine that it really is a magical potion, a gift from heaven, a reminder of our true purpose, and a daily opportunity to be transformed.
世界喚醒每一天的夜間睡眠,改變了一層閃閃發光的晨露在草地上,花瓣和葉子,汽車和車窗。這些閃閃發光的水滴只持續一會兒,不可或缺的一部分向清晨灌輸其神奇的光環。如果我們睡太遲了,我們錯過了壯麗的陽光打在一個無限數量的小水晶球。對沾滿露水的青草上,一步是膏我們的腳與水的一種形式,只有在短時間內一天一次,一個晚上的空氣稀薄的禮物,很快就消失在太陽的光。如果我們足夠慢慢吸氣,有意識地,好像我們是喝這個神奇的靈丹妙藥形成於黑暗與光明之間的邊界。
在一個神話,晨露被認爲是眼淚從天上,在另一個,水滴從黎明的女神的船。當我們看到地球上這些閃閃發光的下降,很容易想象仙女沐浴在水中,或從渴望天空神哭泣更接近地球他心愛的女神。看到閃閃發光的.美麗的地球走出黑暗,我們可能瞭解這方面的渴望自己的感激之情,我們是多麼幸福來到這裏。
也許天堂真的長在地球上,也許這就是爲什麼我們這管道之間神聖的和務實的。我們喝晨露在與我們的眼睛,我們的皮膚,我們的呼吸,不難想象,這真的是一個神奇的藥水,一份禮物從天上,提醒我們的真正目的,每天被轉換的機會。
