IF YOU ARE AN EARLY RISER, like me, you are keeping company with other well-known morning persons like Ben Franklin and Henry David Thoreau. “Cultivate the habit of early rising,” suggested Thoreau. “It is unwise to keep the head long on a level with the feet.” This is especially true for people with an ostomy, since we have a natural need to allow gravity to work its magic on our CFD (constant frontal discharge). But early mornings are special all by themselves, the quiet solitude before the eruption of a busy day, the opportunity to gather one’s thoughts over a warm beverage while everyone else remains asleep in bed. Or, for me, the dark silence of walking through the neighborhood unseen to let my muscles unwind just a little, and my mind unwind some as well. I have the pleasure of seeing here and there a scurrying possum, a raccoon, even a fox once or twice a year. Yesterday morning, it was an owl half the size of a Mini Cooper, or so it seemed, perched on a fence, whose head swiveled imperceptibly as he watched me walk past. I wondered what he was thinking. [Poor wingless humans gotta walk everywhere.] [If God wanted us to walk, he wouldn’t have given us wings.] [I used to think they were smart creatures.]
