Nocturnally Yours

I love the switch to Standard Time from Daylight Savings Time.  It’s not just the extra hour of sleep for one night.  It’s the darkness that permeates the world each day time.  While other people loathe coming out of work and being veiled in blackness, it gets me ready to work and be active.

Perhaps I am nocturnal, but I always feel like my best work comes out after the darkness has settled in.  In the shadows I have the entire world to imagine, to shape through my mind’s eye.  What was clear has now become open to interpretation.  There are edges to define, shadows to color, a whole world to discover.

As winter drags on, I will loathe its cold and spending my waking hours in the what seems like an endless night.  For the moment though, I will enjoy my world of darkness.
