Daylight Rearranging

Say what you will about the time change: We early risers know it isn't daylight saving -- it's daylight rearranging. For us, springing forward is a step backward into night. But to be honest, I'm relieved. I welcome the inky starts to my day, the hush of the hours before dawn. Dark mornings are the best cover-up going; no makeup needed. Dark mornings are also easy on the eyes; they're a gradual salvo to the sun. In a few weeks I'll see light and color again on my way to work, the birds will be singing, the air will be soft. But for now, for a few more weeks, darkness reigns. Daylight rearranging -- bring it on.
