5 am

5 am is very quiet...the stream next to the window makes a constant gurgling noise but it is almost not noticeable.  The coffee pot makes a hissing locomotive sound that lures me out of bed and into the soft morning air that has a slight breeze on its breathe.  I am awake now after a shower and shave but the day is not...no birds singing quite yet and the sun is barely peeking out of its covers.  Most of the city is still asleep..except the garbage man.

Love and Understanding.
