WAKING AT DAWN

Waking at dawn, just before light, to a sky streaked with dark colors, and no sign of light anywhere, I realized that I could just go right back to sleep if I wanted to. I got up and walked around the house for a minute or two, peered outside, then climbed back into bed. Backing up against my wife, and getting all snuggled in, with 3 pillows, I went right back to sleep!

I dreamed crazy dreams, dreams to be ashamed of, dreams that I didn't like, dreams that I haven't forgotten yet- but I know I will.

I should have stayed up.

But waking at dawn is pretty early!

Before mornings' first light, when the roosters begin crowing and letting the world know what's going on- THAT is an hour when most people just would not even consider getting up!

It's Saturday morning, for pete's sake!
