I’m not a morning person. But I love to observe how the world wakes up.
I used to do that back in the days where I stayed out all night. It’s subtle, but it starts around after 5 in the morning. People start waking up, start leaving for work/school. The surroundings shift from the quiet night to the bustle of morning busy-ness. The air, so fresh and cool–it just rejuvenates me.
I like walking through the neighbourhoods and the heartlands experiencing how it all starts coming alive.
I’ve been taking the boys to school and I enjoy our walks because they will chatter away–usually comment about the vehicles that pass us by as we walk along the road.
Reuel: 222! Kor kor! Your favourite bus! But not double decker though.
Zayden: Yeah.
Or,
Reuel: 28 double decker! My favourite!
And this:
Anyway, earlier this morning, Reuel spotted Bus 14 and he went, “Forty-one!”
“The other way, Reuel,” I gently told him.
“ONETY-FOUR!”
Reuel is like you. He’s a very observant kid. Noticed that my right shoe lost its ribbon.
