Night

Humans evolved as diurnal animals. Perhaps for this reason the night has always been a time of magic, danger, and mystery. Some of us, if not quite nocturnal like cats, or vampires, are less diurnal than others. It is in this realm of darkness and quiet that our creativity seems to flow with the most ease; when we are most sociabe and in our best mood. Night is when we can see the stars in all their glory. When scary books or movies are truly scary. When music, whispers, and words are most meaningful.

Are you one of the less-diurnal beings that can relate to this post? If so, you know that we don't necessarily dislike the merciless rain of photons from the sun, or the clear blue skies of summer -as seen from behind our shielding shades- it's just that some states of mind can only happen when the sun is but a memory, and most people are dreaming with their eyes closed.
