Day 13: Darkness
Oddly, this picture is comforting to me. I’ve never really associated darkness with fear. To me, darkness feels like home. I feel more at peace when it is night, my body relaxes, the stresses of the day put to bed for now. Darkness is a time to go outside and feel the world for what it was meant to be. Crickets chirping, frogs croaking, the wind in the trees. Gone are the sounds of cars driving and children yelling. I can actually hear nature. Somehow, it puts my mind and body back in balance. But, as I’ve said before, I’m completely nocturnal. If I didn’t have a family, I’d write until dawn and sleep during the day. The moon holds a power over me that I don’t quite understand…
Great picture of the moon and the tree branches. The summer nights are wonderful, I love sitting outside and hearing the various sounds. It is relaxing

I also like the quietness of the night, when all the sound of our “civilization” disappears and we can finally hear both the sound of Nature and our inner voice.

There’s this peace that comes over you when it feels like the world is asleep, and you get to enjoy the beauty of the night in solitude. I agree with you completely. Thank you for commenting.
