Mornings come early this time of year and a cacophony of birds announce its arrival much to my delight. I’m having my cup of coffee near an open window overlooking the river listening to an orchestral melody of birds matched by a low percussion of steady riffles coming from the river and a rhythmic drippiness of the trees from last night’s rain. So beautiful, so soothing, absolutely delightful. No other noise - no traffic, no sirens, no lawnmowers, no nothing. I’m at peace, enjoying creation, contemplating life, a wonderful way to start my day. Perhaps I’ll go wade fishing today.
