Yesterday I woke up before 5 and since I couldn't get back to sleep, I got up and did my sometime "walk around the block." It takes 23.5 minutes, so I'd say it's about 1.5 miles. I don't power-walk, but neither do I stroll. I am looking for moderate exertion, and the feeling of being totally alive.
What an experience! We were expecting rain yesterday, but the sun was rising just over the horizon, and the looming clouds tinted the sky all shades of pink, purple and orange. The birds were singing and for a stretch I felt that I was the only person in the world. Usually I associate that thought with various apocalyptic and thus scary notions, but yesterday it really felt cool and wonderful. June is a great time to get up early.
(Of course, when I got home, the clouds rolled in, it got cold and damp in the house, and I crawled into bed for another 2.5 hours of sleep. So much for carpe'ing the diem.)
