A New Day Begins

The exact yoga pose that I practice each morning... just not as eloquently. My weary mornings begin at 6 AM. Well, 6:05 really. I hate o’clocks (:00). They are too round of a number or dictative or something. While I know that my wake-up call could be much earlier as it is with some others, …
