Morning Stillness

Today I got up early!...for the first time in a long time, and I remembered why I love greeting the day early. I love that stillness and quietness in the early morning, before everyone and everything starts moving around. I enjoy that crisp cool air that hits the face and refreshes the lungs as you first step outside in the early morning while the sun is making its great accent... the warmth of the rays that hit your face and body first thing in the morning. The peace that is felt in the early morning is one thing I miss. The intimate conversations and meditation that takes place in the morning between myself and God is what I was reminded of today. The birds beginning to sing and the squirrels rustling around in the trees. Everyone is quiet and still, barely moving around. Your side of the world is waking up and its a time of thankfulness for life and another day. Many times I can remember God speaking to me in the early morning, many times I have walked around outside before the commotion starts, this is what I miss and about the early morning. It's as if it's just you, God, and creation.
