i am so not a morning person.
my bleary eyes have seen wee hours plentiful. in my younger days, it was because i hadn't yet been to bed: papers and projects and conversations engaged me while others slept. i've woken early for work, brewing coffee in the pre-dawn hours for commuters and college kids at--count 'em--four coffee shops. these days, it's the breastfed babes and sick kids who keep the crazy hours, and we meet their needs before dawn breaks.
until today, i never got up that early for me.
the house was quiet as i laced my boots. i stepped onto the deck and caught my breath: the moon shone larger-than-life on the horizon, swollen gold and appearing bigger than the still-sleeping sun.
a strange, luminous gift to light a new path.

are you a morning or night person? how do you create time for yourself in the stillness?
