When I got up this morning, the sun was already up, yet it was still very quiet. On my way back inside from my daily check of my rain gauge, I had to stop. The birds were silent, and the wind was at a whisper. No traffic had yet assaulted the roads. The only sounds were the intermittent click of leaves hitting the ground and a distant church carillon playing "Come Ye Thankful People Come." I stood there for what seemed like forever, breathing in the cool morning air and letting the near-silence wash over me.
Thanks to God for such a peaceful and beautiful start to the morning. If every day this autumn is going to be like that, I think I'm going to like it.
