Early morning inspiration

7:30 in the morning might not be early for you, but it is a haunting time of day for me.  A witching hour, of sorts, where all is surreal, yet quietly, even calmly, true and clear.  I have realized that there is a certain magic that can be harnessed during this time before I have eaten, or taken a shower or washed my face. I have a wealth of ideas to write about right when I wake up, all unadulterated by the day's stresses and expectations.  Hopefully this revelation will prompt me to wake up early more often.   One idea that struck me this morning is the fact that I have been thinking about music in a singular, narrow minded sense for a long dime due to necessity.  Having recently gained the tools to look at it in a completely new way, I realize how many alternate  paths there are to musical enlightenment.   (this is not to say that I have even come close to musical enlightenment, I simply believe I found a more enjoyable, direct path to it).  I must go,  but more to come on this topic later  ( there will be discussion on the logic and art of Chess, stay tuned).
