I open my eyes in the darkness. Unfocused. Hazy. There is a dim light. The edges of awareness. What time is it? Why even bother looking at the phone? It's probably five AM. It always is. Don't grab the phone. Go back to sleep...
My hand reaches for the phone. Text, photos, videos, colours- light bombards my eyes. The time soon after you wake up is important. The brain is neurologically impressionable. The information it receives at that time colours the rest of the day. Like a neurological stamp.
Meditation is probably the best way to start your day, but photons are just so darn addictive. The light fantastic.
Put that phone down and go back to sleep.
Ok.
But it doesn't happen.
I must rise, wash, and brew a wonderful day.
