Okay, after mutiple posts outside the realm of normalcy that I usually have as a template for this blog, I'm finally going back to what makes this blog tick. And I apologized for spending so much time out in the ether, I'm coming back. On the subject of mornings....
In my humble opinion, the morning is the best time of day. If you walk outside just before the sun rises, there is just such a feeling of peace throughout the world. The hum of life in this industrialized world has yet to be awoken, and nothing is disturbing the world. Occasionally the birds will be singing as they go about their business of mating, eating, and providing for the family back in the nest. Sometimes the neighborhood turtles furtively sneak across the road, even though it takes them forever, so there really is nothing furtive about it, but it looks cool. Nocturnal wildlife is sneaking back to their daytime hidey-holes, and the diurnal wildlife is getting ready to have a great day doing whatever they do. The world is peaceful.
And then you run into the human wildlife. Most of us are still slumbering as the real world outside (aka nature) is gearing up to beast mode (no pun intended) the day. We, that is to say humans, generally miss this wonderful period of readiness that the world goes through each and every morning. It's a shame really, more of us should get up to experience this symphony of everything natural. But the fact is we need our sleep. Humans are, for all intensive purposes, diurnal creatures. But due to advances in communications and technology and keeping in touch with people, we've transformed our roles into those of half nocturnal, half diurnal creatures. It's just not natural. For this reason, we stay up later at night, and get up later in the morning (all this is speaking from the fact that it is the weekend and most students, and some adults, don't have to get up for school), and consequently miss the morning stillness. It's a real shame.
Morning, it's what's for breakfast.
