The story behind it
The first words of the day, on the wall by her bed.
The alarm, the dog, the lunches, the news on her phone. Most mornings start fast.
The Modeh Ani asks for one breath first. Before you stand up, you say thank you for waking up at all. With this piece on the wall, the words are there before the phone is. The full prayer ends with words from Lamentations: great is Thy faithfulness. It is a small way to begin every day on the same good note.
May every morning in this home begin with thanks, and may there be many good ones.

About this piece
This Modeh Ani wall art sets the Hebrew morning prayer in matte black metal calligraphy, with soft swirls around the letters. Hung by the bed or the kitchen window, it gives the day its first words: thank you.
What it means
The Hebrew reads מודה אני לפניך מלך חי וקיים, modeh ani lefanecha, melech chai v'kayam: I give thanks before You, living and eternal King. It is said on waking, before getting out of bed, to give thanks for a new morning. Women often say modah ani, and without vowels the Hebrew letters are the same.
