- With the Earth I Turn (Morning Sun Greeting), by Mary "Tyrtle" Rooker, Shamanic Spring.
- A Song Is Singing Through You, variation of a song written by Rena Yount, altered by Mary Rooker. Original melody unknown; I hear it with a slightly Irish folk character to the melody, as the song reminds me of the Oran Mor, or "Great Song" from Celtic lore.
- Morning Sun (Pomo extraction chant). 3 great online versions! One by our own Stephanie Seger, one by another Sandra Ingerman student, Victoria Vives, and a concert version by Asher Quinn. Quinn's version reminds me that I have heard a second verse that puts everything past tense: Morning Sun, came my way, took my pain, down below, cool water down below.

Poems & Quotes
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always.
--Byron Katie
