Darkness

It gets dark so quick now I've only just realised. Things seem clearer in the dark anyway. Well, the things you are meant to see. The lights and the cars and the buildings. The rest just lingers in the shadows. Probably grateful for a longer rest than July ever gave them. Time to build up some strength and re think things.

I think humans hate that time. Shadow time. The waiting and the resting where nothing ever seems clear and light barely flickers let alone shines. It's in this time where thoughts are conceived and where plans are made. It's where if we choose we can grow. It's where sparks alight and where change happens.

Mostly unseen, unnoticed and rarely appreciated but vital to our inner core if we are ever to keep our fire burning for more than one season. More than one feeling and more than one moment.
