My favorite time of day is early morning, when remnants of civil twilight slowly begin to fade and the sun’s warmth feels soft. It is here, in the gentle hours of the day, I am reminded of the beauty of simplicity.
For early mornings bring empty beaches and empty roads.
They bring faded hues of blue and green.
Early mornings are by far my favorite time—
the tranquility they bring, the simplicity they bring.
It is here, in these hours, where we move most like the sun—rising slowly and gently— so by the time the rest of the world wakes, we have already started on our way.
