Sunrise siesta, arrive in your own time

Clouds gathered along the horizon, wrapping themselves around the rising sun as it made its way into the day.

A few early risers moved along the shoreline—gulls and turnstones easing into their morning routines. Despite the wind, there was a calmness in the air… the kind that invites you to slow down without even trying.

And then, just off the path, tucked into the sand, I came across the sweetest little moment.

A gopher tortoise…

completely settled in…

enjoying a sunrise siesta.

Eyes gently closed.

Body at ease.

Just being.

“There’s no need to hurry into the day.

Let yourself wake up slowly… arrive in your own time.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
