Early Morning Contemplation
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and instead of going back to bed, I stay up for a while, sit in my chair and think. It is very peaceful in the wee hours of the morning making a good opportunity to let my mind wonder and contemplate life.
Usually I write ideas down or type them into my computer if they seem important or amazing and then I read them the next day. Sometimes I have come up with ridiculous things, but very often I can have great moments of clarity. Some of the things I think of are as mundane as reconfiguring a computer or rearranging the furniture. Other times I have decided to change my life’s course.
I usually don’t spend more than an hour thinking and contemplating in the early morning hours. I sleep more soundly afterwards because I have more peace of mind.
