I wake at the edge of dawn to hear songbirds sing. A habit since a child, I love listening to their soft trills. It's then, as the world in slumber lies hushed and still that I impatiently loosen the reins of my gypsy soul to run with wild abandon, free to chase the wind.

What kind of birds live on your island, Jan? lol As long as I don't hear the rude caws of crows, I enjoy their songs. Based on my last two lines, I thought this was a good chance to use my avatar as the picture.
