inspiration is the only alarm clock needed at whatever time of day... and, Jon, you are awake and poetically alive wherever and whenever consciousness takes you. Morning is definitely what you make it... and you make it good! :)) xx

They talk about dreams and the footsteps, ahead of me... Creative people, shouldn't have paths laid out. They should walk off the end of the world and expect the land to be home-free... as always Jon, its a pleasure.

Invested with a sense of noble rebellion,
a delicate eloquent rebuke to convention
and harness.
No need to thank me, Jon, My Friend,
my contribution to this fine poem was lilliputian.

I can so empattize with you my friend on this one. I am retired or at least retired from the 9-5 world and yes often I am up having my first tea of the day at four in the morning while other days I am still abed in mid morning. Sometimes I put on a suit as Santa, other times semi casual to do volunteer work at school, and still others suit and tie if the occassion calls for it....and I love the flexibility of my life.

Jon, what beauty you invest in these lovely lines. I share the
restlessness that haunts those early morning hours. But only you,
my vagabond friend, and your gentle mind, could translate those
fretful hours into into music. -gene.

What a wonderful ritual it is when the morning greeting can vary upon your whims!
I especially like to see the sun rise even though I seldom these days greet it with open eyes myself.
Blessings,

I would not call it a ritual, but a conversation that I can improve upon each day
