Words to Kick-Start a Summer Monday

Warm, sunny day,
thrilling plants and animals and rocks alike,
making sap and blood flow fast,
and making every particle…throb and swirl
and dance in glad accord like star-dust.

No dullness anywhere visible or thinkable.

No stagnation, no death.

Everything kept in joyful rhythmic motion
in the pulses of Nature’s big heart.

-John Muir
