The grandfather clock just chimed 6 a.m. Why is anyone awake at this hour? It is a good time; it’s peaceful and able to
bare the burden of peace. It’s also dark
but 6 a.m. is hopeful of sunrise and is likewise able to offer that gift of
faith. Early morning holds a certain
notion of optimism, an expectation that things are probable and great things
possible. Sleep is always given up
begrudgingly in the early morning, 5:15 is only there to remind you that you
didn’t get the luxury of sleeping till 6, but 5:15 not the time but the event,
always reminds you that 6 is coming.
That’s when to put ones feet on the floor.
