On waking

SCOTT FITZ-RANDOLPH

For some of us the first thoughts we have when waking quickly line up and provide an orderly approach for our day. Frequently, though, thoughts appear randomly, with stragglers and interlopers confusing the scene. What can we do about it?

Of course, a more spiritually disciplined thought at bedtime would have helped to clear out those stragglers. Still, when morning comes, there is always a way of grasping that moment called "waking up" and making it a real awakening. We can sort out those early thoughts and fill our consciousness with spiritual ideas that uplift and inspire.
