In The Quietness Of The Morning You Can Hear Volumes!


 I often get up between 5 and 6 a.m. in the quietness of the house you can hear things you don’t during the hours that everyone is awake.

As the world starts to wake up, you hear the birds chirping. What an inspiring sound! I love listening to the birds around our house as they start their days. Different songs can be heard as they wake up and let their neighbours know they are there.

The occasional car passing lets you know that you are not the only one awake at this hour. These folks are on their way to work, to visit people, travelling some where. They were up earlier than me and I wonder how they can do it, getting up and going before five. I need an hour to come into the fully awake version of myself, it also means I need a lot of coffee.

The sound of the coffee brewing. Once I have been up for a few minutes I grind some coffee beans, pour them into our percolator, then plug it in. Listening to the sound of the percolator going through its paces, making that black/brown liquid that aids in my waking up. A good cup of coffee takes a few minutes to brew and it is worth the wait.

The thoughts that run through your mind. No, I am not talking about “the voices” in my head. We all have moments when our minds are running through the day, week, month ahead. In those thoughts there may be some little thought that gives you inspiration for those times ahead. We all need times to be able to sit and listen to ourselves think, moments where our dreams and desires come out.

Don’t let your life dreams and desire die!
