EARLY MORNING OUT AND ABOUT.

Winter Sunrise over Adelaide

I had left home long before sunrise this morning and this was the view from the Hospital Car Park.  I was impressed by this lovely start to the day.

The Car Park wasn't busy but there were lots of people making their way into the building to work, for admission, for appointments.

The tramping of feet and the cold expressions on faces made me very aware of how hospitals are in the early morning hours.

Cleaners were busy, lifts were full of people making their way to upper levels and again was the constant tramp of feet.  

Everyone on a mission - to be somewhere by a certain time.

I had taken a book to read as I waited but I was more fascinated by the passing parade of people passing by.

I waited and when my blood work was done I too joined the throng of people on a mission - I was headed straight to "Lizzy's Coffee Shop for the best cappuccino in town.  I did some shopping on the way home and now the rest of the day stretches in front of me, but I am aware of how it will be in a few hours when those people who tramped into work early will be much slower coming out and going home. 

People on a mission with home sweet home on their minds.

Cheers,

Linda.

The water is always calm when I go out at 4 a.m. The whole world reflects back at me and it reminds me that generally the world is calmer at 4.a..m.  There is a hush of anticipation as morning is on the way and occasionally a bird will call out heralding the dawn.

I love the gentle lapping of the water at the edges at this time of day - when mostly I am alone - just me, my thoughts and the ocean.  What bliss to just give in to the rhythmic patterns of the waves and to breath in and out with the water.  Often the moon is just dipping down and there are faint glimpses of what will be the dawn of another day.

It truly is in my opinion the very best time of the day - most people and creatures are still sleeping and those who are awake and have ventured out are refreshed from sleep and in tune with the world.  The whole world reflects back at me and gives me a glimpse of paradise - of peace, calm and solitude.

Love and hugs,

Linda.
