I love the early mornings though.  The light and the quiet awe and inspire me.  I leave my house and get to see the world waking up.  Things are still, quiet and have a kind of peace to them that I know won’t last.  Living in a city and getting to move without the roar and the din of day is something I don’t get often.  There are no groups of people talking loudly, no buses and cars roaring by, no honking of horns.  I love it.

And the light.  The light is worth getting up even as I hate it.  As the light comes up, the sun rises, it suffuses everything in its glow.  It is amazing.  I get to work, I arrive in light.  As I walk by the water I have to stop a moment and watch.  The quiet waves reflect the light as the sun comes up, and it is beautiful.  I sometimes worry that one day I won’t notice it anymore.    That is the essence of my early morning commute.  I arrive at my workplace in light and sound.  By then the world is pretty much awake – buses moving, people talking and the sun shining.
