This is the normal start of my day. one nice thing about it is that the world is quiet. No rush about noises from the world outside my window. I have always lived near a city, have always had people right next door, and have always had the noises that accompany that whole scene. It is something you have a tendency to get use to, at least that is what I tell myself.
I have had the opportunity however, to spend some time in the less populated countryside, and to tell you the truth I like it a whole lot better. The silence is troublesome at first, it has a strangeness to it, but once you get passed that initial weirdness it has a settling affect on your soul.
The sounds at four in the morning are still pretty much the same in both places, but more of a calmness surrounds the country area. Maybe that is because when the world starts to awaken it doesn’t wake up equally in both places, or maybe I’m just older now and am just tired of the noises. Even at Four in the morning.
