It is 4:28 in the morning and I am sitting at my desk sipping my first cup of coffee of the day and smoking my third damn cigarette, yeah I know I must quit! It is raining outside and my little dog Kalli just rolled her eyes at me from my bed where she is laying and trying to go back to sleep, she has more sense than I do it seems. It is quiet, and in this quiet my mind wanders to all of the problems in my life, all the failures all the negative. Why is that? Shouldn’t we in this busy noisy world of today cherish silence? Shouldn’t it bring calm and peace? Seems not, I read a few of my twitters and it seems I am not the only early riser that gets maudlin in the stillness of the night. Yet I still love it, I love the silence, I love the sound of the rain gently crying on my windows and even the much put upon look my little dog is giving me. Maybe it’s a good thing we take the time to reflect on the negative things in life, notice I said reflect not dwell…..ok maybe silence IS always a good thing……..
