🕊️ The Morning Door

TWO-MINUTE MONK
Ancient wisdom for modern life, every Monday.

🧘 Monk Thought

“Faith is the bird that feels the light
and sings while the dawn is still dark.”

— Rabindranath Tagore

💡 Monk Light

Tagore wrote of faith not as belief in something unseen, but as trust in what is already coming.

The bird does not wait for sunrise to sing.

It sings because it knows light will arrive.

That’s what real faith is:

Not certainty, not control, just a quiet confidence that what is dark will not stay that way.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) was an Indian poet, philosopher and Nobel laureate.

👣 Monk Move

Before the day fully begins, pause.

Say softly:

“The bird sings before the light.”

Then take a breath, and step through the morning door.

And let it be enough.

🔐 The Monk Vault is now open.
You can find all the previous posts by the Two-Minute Monk in the Vault. The weekly post from the Monk will always be free but at some point in the future, I will create a small subscription of no more than £2 per month to access the Vault to see previous posts and get extra material. For now, though, the Vault remains open and free. Enjoy!
