Beckon

I am a bit of a word junkie. My dictionary is always close at hand and I especially love etymology - which is the science of where the word came from in the first place.

I woke up this morning beckoning. That's what my mind told me.... I woke up steeped in the thought that I was beckoning something towards me. I was beckoning what I want - good things, joyful things, creative things...love.

All this happened under the covers with eyes closed. It's Saturday morning and I lay there drifting in and out of Saturday morning sleep, awakening on and off to the "I don't have to get up" feeling. But as soon as I do get up - I head to the dictionary definition of "Beckon"

Just like it feels - it is a rich word - it means more than "seeking or asking" - it adds a gesture, an active summoning or signal.
