and even the silence appears to be sleeping. Its shadows are one place where thoughts can be heard and the quiet can be mined for its hidden eloquence. Many years ago my clock was set and it was set towards evening. If I had my day as I wish it I would rise early, nap … Continue reading Night falls…
