I love to get up early on Saturday mornings. I love to listen to the silence of the night. No cars
or trucks passing by. No people passing by. Just silence. That's the way it was at 5:00 a.m.. I was getting the newspapers and taking the dogs out when I stood still and listened to the silence in the darkness before the dawn. I knew that far too soon I would turn on the tv and begin to hear the sounds that tend to rule our days if we let them. For Lent, I think I will give up turning on the tv so early so the silence can speak to my soul. The newspaper can even wait for awhile longer before being read. Even Dagwood and the Family Circus. What a refreshing thought. I'm glad I thought of it so early on a Saturday morning.
