Ready

In the cold grey light of dawn I stir with a single line in my head:

"It is not about going to search for your destiny. It is about rising up to meet it when it comes searching for you."

This is my waking thought. The beginning of my day. Cold and grey, the Amsterdam sky is an undulating blanket of damp billow moving towards my window. The prospect of heading out on my bike to cycle the 5 miles to town seems now irrelevant, as does breakfast, or a semblance of being ready. I arrive at the classroom in a state of grace.

All I have to do is get up, and be ready for this day.
