The alarm didn’t ring. Instead a soft hum coming from the flocking pigeons outside my window signaled the city’s awakening. It’s magical when you sync with the urban beat and rise with the city to witness its first blush of dawn. I often like to greet the day with a brief meditation. I see the city stretching, the traffic picking up, the dwellers rushing, the birds whispering – a real explosion of vibrations… I feel alive and part of a vibrant network. Regardless of my meticulous to-do list for the day I am able to listen to what the city has to say. It’s a different message everyday, and it keeps me rooted in the now. The city’s dawn brings energy of freshness and vitality. If you tune to it you can transform every ordinary moment into an extraordinary experience. Instead of counting the days to the weekend, so you can escape the urban frenzy, try relishing the flavor of a rising city. It’s so colorful, so delicious, so plentiful…

Come yawn with the city in a brief meditation of Urban Awakening! Turn the alarm off. You won’t need it…
