Do not say, "It is morning" — Rabindranath Tagore
A morning inspiration card for May 30 featuring Rabindranath Tagore's luminous aphorism from Stray Birds — every morning is a new-born child that has no name. Set against a warm, mist-golden forest sunrise.
Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a new-born child that has no name.
— Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds (1916)
Every morning carries the quiet invitation to begin without the weight of what came before. Tagore, the Bengali poet and Nobel laureate, captured this perfectly in Stray Birds — a collection of brief aphorisms that read like morning light itself. This is not about forgetting; it is about truly arriving.
The morning you wake into today has never existed before. It asks only one thing: that you meet it with fresh eyes.
