It rained early this morning . I woke up in the darkness. It was a little cold
and I lay there under the blanket. You know that feeling is rather
comfortable and snug. I closed my eyes not to sleep more, but to be in contact with the
cool morning air and listen to the steady spatter of raindrops on the
eave. I read a poem in my mind from my monk, to welcome a new day: wake
up and smile, a new day is coming one more time, may I be conscious and look at
everyone with sympathy. I'm thankful that I have another day to live and learn
more about this life. Life is colorful, and contains many tastes. Sometimes
it's sweet, and at other time it’s bitter, but it's always interesting.
