On night

Was having an online chat yesterday about night and day. My friend celebrates sunlight, but I prefer darkness. Night makes it easier to calm down, sort of meditate, and generate new ideas.

There was an REM song with the line “Pining for the moon” and a brief Chinese poem about a man who falls out of his boat trying to hug the moon.

I will try to continue my “Night Swimming” as REM called its song. And “I have been one acquainted with the night,” wrote Robert Frost.
