It's 1 am and I'm weaving the last threads of a beautifully written manuscript (translation: I just wrote a lengthy paper for school and my mind is reeling with thoughts upon thoughts). I hear a bird singing a song outside of my window. My first thoughts, why the hell is a bird singing at 1 o'clock in the morning? Doesn't it know that sunrise is hours away? I brush it off and mutter something along the lines of "stupid bird".
But the bird is so much smarter then I give it credit for. It knows the dawn is soon. It knows it better than I do. This morning the bird was reminding me, "Jessica, the dawn will come, it's so very close." A much needed reminder that even the darkness is not forever. My mind quiets and I drift off to sleep.
