I woke early this morning, before any hint of morning light came into the sky. Even before noticing how dark it was, I knew it wasn't time to get up, as no birds were singing. The windows were open, and the air was thick with the soft, droning sound of insects. A deep night sound.
I dozed off. The next time I woke, before I opened my eyes, I heard cardinals singing. They seem to often be the early risers. I listened for awhile, and then heard a robin's chirp. I opened my eyes to the first hint of daylight.
The birds are singing. It's time to start my day.
