I love the early morning when stillness reigns. A heart so full of happiness temporarily sliced with worry for one's offspring does not even a robber make. For the early morning is God's domain. He whispers through dreams filling mind with lofty thoughts of longings coming true. Awakening to write them down is also His …

 I awoke early this morning and could not go back to sleep due to worry over my daughter Elya.
