Now, the dawn was coming, I looped under the blanket.

The melody of the morning bright in my ears. And now, I would come to remember, how pleasant to see that my first thoughts were good thoughts.

I nodded my head solemnly and broke through the horizons, into the warm and the unity of the world outside.

My ambitions stirred, my plans and the goals were clear before me.

My mind probed for action before things came to be.

My rage and hatred I once carried had melted into pure determination.

With organized thought, I knew, things in the holy scripts were really there!

‘Do not ask for validation,’ I told my self. ‘Just get up and work.’

It takes such revitalizing energy to be working like a donkey to get you to Bethlehem.
