1 The name my family calls me is Morning Girl because I wake up early, always with something on my mind. Mother says it’s because I dream too hard, and that I don’t relax even in sleep. Maybe she’s right—in my dreams I’m always doing things: swimming or searching on the beach for unbroken shells or figuring out a good place to fish. I open my eyes as soon as the light calls through the smoke hole in the roof, sift the ideas that have come to me in the night and decide which one to follow first. 2 I don’t tell this to anyone because they might misunderstand, but I like the aloneness of the early morning. I try to step gently on the path so that the sounds I make will blend into the rustle of the world. Father taught me how to swim on land, careful as a turtle. You’ll see more if you’re quiet, he told me. Things don’t hide or wait for you to pass. And, it’s more polite.
3 Another thing: if the day starts before you do, you never catch up. You spend all your time running after what you should have already done, and no matter how much you hurry, you never finish the race in a tie. The day wins.
4 I tried once to explain all this to my little brother, but he just blinked at me, asked me who said it was a race in the first place? See, he likes the darkness best, especially when there are no clouds and no moon. Sometimes he shakes me until I look as he points out the patterns he sees in the sky, the tracks made of white sand. He’s sure what we see is part of another island, even bigger than the one where we live or than the one that appears in a pond where the water is very smooth. He thinks we’re like birds floating above that sky island, very, very high.
5 I don’t know how my brother came to see everything so upside down from me. For him, night is day, sleep is awake. It’s as though time is split between us, and we only pass by each other as the sun rises or sets. Usually, for me, that’s enough.
