I am nothing if not inspired by, and take solace and sustenance in, time to myself, felt most vividly, and perhaps most deeply, when late at night.
If people align or walk themselves most truly at certain times of the day, then a large portion of my time would be at night, when not many, or hardly any, are around, if any at all. It may be complete darkness then, or pert near, as my grandmother at times said, but the idea approaches nothingness, an absence, a void even. At one end of the spectrum you find a willingness, or a need, to go beyond the regular realms and times of daylight, of the daylight hours, a time when we most ingest and take part in and co-create the reality we think we know, or we certainly try making. But that for me has never quite been reality. The untraceable memory of truth within us, which ever guides and leads us in life, points to us lifting back the regular world of ideas and the days of everyday life, which we find to just be how things are. There is another world, and I think you can most taste it in those alone times, not lonely, although that can occur. At night, in this place, the moonlight as gentle knowledge, here you will find, to my mind, a peace and an ease, a more natural way to understand. The work I do becomes intimately informed by what I know from this place, this time, although the time I am referring to now is hours away from when I am posting this. What to do in the daylight? I try and not get caught up with what we all know, and try to remember what I do know, perhaps unique from this place. It lines up with the deeper understanding I feel essential in life. To be who we are we have to be able to be in a place as this. I am glad to value this place and time as I do, and I am happy to share with you from here.
