Dawn

Why does it get colder just before dawn?
That's one thing that doesn't change wherever you go in the world. It's a nice little reminder that nature still runs the show - like she's breathing a sigh of morning each day, her yawn to wake up the birds and wail on our skin with the chill and rose of sunrise. It's happened since the earth began it's rotation, she's breathed every day before the sun comes up for the last 5 billion years.
I'm usually asleep, as we all are.
Whether you're in the heart of a city, on top of a mountain, in the leaves by a river under the pouring rain or in the middle of the salty ocean it's always been the same. 100,000 years ago and tomorrow.
And just right now. Sweet morning, I welcome you. :)

The night is darkest just before the dawn...according to Harvey Dent. But its true, Dawn is the new magic hour.
