| Unquestionably, the early morning---hopefully---hours! As I sit here watching, the light of dawn slowly brightens on the tranquil scene outside my window, as if a stage-hand were bringing up the lights on a set. A mist hangs over the pond, blending the sky and snow-covered earth into a backdrop of white. The frosted pines and motionless limbs of the deciduous trees stand poised in shades of green and brown. The house and I are awake enjoying the serenity. It's mine...all mine...I own the moment. I am free to think, plan, prepare, read, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate...do whatever I want. It's mine....all mine....until the onslaught of daily demands consume me....that is, until yet another dawn. | |||
