I was reading The Wind in the Willows for the first time…I know, what took me so long? And found this wonderful passage after Toad’s escape from the dungeon. It struck me as a perfect way to approach the beginning of a new dawn…

“He shook himself and combed the dry leaves out of his hair with his fingers; and, his toilet complete, marched forth into the comfortable morning sun, cold but confident, hungry but hopeful, all nervous terrors of yesterday dispelled by rest and sleep and frank and heartening sunshine.”

From The wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
