Read on how to enrich your life by purpose, i.e. to find depth and, a reason to get out of bed each morning, your own Ikigai.
A homemaker wishes to snooze some more, but the relentless of her morning routine pushes her to get up and begin yet another day, even if she has a few minutes of her coffee time for herself.
The alarm tolls Wake up sleepy head, it’s morn.
She opens her eyes, but doesn’t wake up. A glorious sun peeps in through the defiant curtains. A few more moments, she wishes to be on the snooze but the engines are already abuzz. Ting tong, whooshh, boom honk honk, beep beep sizzle, tuk tuk, tring tringg… the engines vroom all around her.
The body gets started too but the spark is missing. The soul is restless. She seeks solitude, for a moment of gratitude for another enchanting morning, to savor the stillness around, to wonder at the dew drops perching on the tendrils, to soak in the bird song, before it’s drowned in the cacophony outside.
But the morning rush beckons. Mist from the coffee cup clouds her eyes. She blinks. It gets cold. And insipid.
Just like her life.
She plants a twig. The coffee cup on the window sil sun kissed, brimmeth over now with green, purple, pink brown and mauve- joyous, vibrant colors.
