It’s 7:15 AM. After an exhausting dream in which some wild birds cast shadows that were able to create some crazy music to fill in those silent pauses that are followed by the occasional chorus of random traffic noise. Hear how that musical madness creates a sense of anticipation that makes an otherwise mundane Wednesday morning so endearing and inspiring.

An owl breaks the silence and in doing so contributes to a conversation that becomes the inspiration for a wild traffic jam that is so bewildering the drivers have decided to walk.

Somewhere a car door slams shut, then mysteriously reopens in silence that becomes some crazy bebop tune combining high pitch tire noises with bird conversations that interrupt a plane departing from somewhere to a destination promising an OK today and better tomorrow.
