Good morning

I’ve always thought that saying “good morning” is very important. It could be, perhaps, the most important greeting anyone can say to another person.

Good morning to thee, gentle friend and traveller! No matter what time of day it might be when thou art reading this- no matter what the hour of the clock- I say good morning to thee because this very moment brings to thee the coming of the dawn. The dawn, as everyone knows, is the moment when illumination comes. The dawn marks the end of the long dark night. It is the moment that marks a new beginning. It is my humble hope that these words may be for thee a dawning, or at least, a sort of awakening…

—Batlin of Britain, in The Book of the Fellowship, Ultima VII: The Black Gate

Batlin wasn’t probably the best example of a person, but at least he had some wise words about the importance of mornings. Mornings are new beginnigs. Things often look different in the morning. Morning is the time to meet again with the other people after the dark night.
