Early Mornings

Pre Dawn:
Everybody has their own best time of the day when they are in their best mood, their best functioning time and their best zone. For me it is very early in the mornings before the sun comes up.

It is all about that three hour window when no one else is around--it is generally totally quiet and thoughts, ideas and connections between have room to work themselves out.

Those days when I am able to cycle for a few hours before the sun comes up are always the best days. There are virtually never any cars or people on the streets--just moon light, animals and the sound of the wind. As you get closer to dawn everything starts to change--the world shifts gears and begins the conversion process for production, function and reactions. It never fails to amaze you to start to see the sun begining to appear. Sometimes while you are riding and happen to be facing the East looking at the water and are lucky enough to see the light levels build. It is always the same-yet never exactly. You realize that the magic time is about gone--and those thoughts and ideas in your head need to be buttoned up or writen down. It's exactly like those few minutes when you wake up and remember your dreams--if you don't write them down--they simply slip away and disapear.
