I've been living in butterfly town since May. But yesterday I heard something for the first time that I never heard before. I heard a bugle playing Reveille as I was drinking my coffee yesterday morning. It was amazing. We live right next to the Presidio of Monterey. So, I guess it shouldn't be a big surprise. Yet, like I said, I had never heard it before. Maybe I wasn't listening. Maybe there is a new bunch of recruits there now that weren't there over the summer. Whatever the reason, it got me thinking about what I need to wake up to in my own life. And how amazing I felt after hearing the bugle's call. And then, last night, as I curled up in my bed to read a bit before going to sleep the bugle played TAPS. I had never heard TAPS played at end of day before, only at funerals. And the power of the simple bugle playing just over the hill brought tears to my eyes.
I listened for the call again this morning. And after hearing the troops shout several times in the distance, Reveille played yet again. I smiled.
