Egun on!

Pévevóona’o!

Shubha prabhaat!

These are the words I’d use if I wanted to wish you a good morning in, respectively, Basque, Cheyenne, and Hindi cultures.  I found these beautiful, mysterious words on this website, which lists the way to say “good morning” in more than 250 languages.  I’m tempted to try to say “good morning” to someone in a different language for a week.  Or maybe just to myself. 

Because when we hear something so lovely and simple in a new way, doesn’t it refresh the way we experience it?

G’morning to you!
