Early Morning

The longest day of the year always begins in the morning, but it is sunset that gets the attention.

For those up early, who remember what early was like six months earlier, when the day is half done and you are still in darkness ...

I have heard it said that the longest day of the year is simply an average of the days clustered around it, the 21st being the day the people who decided these things (Druids?) agree on. Kinda like the"present", how it contains a little of the "past" and a little of the "future".
