Sometimes I wake up early and for a few precious minutes, I'm under the spell of nature
as I watch these breathtaking colours painting their way across the sky.
I love the peaceful lull, the quiet hush before cars and trucks start spilling onto the street
and Toronto suddenly roars, hisses and clatters into a demented traffic rush.
Dawn in the city
sweeps away the grey slumber
stirs a new day's fire
