night is my favorite time - the stars poke through the black, and
imagination creates things larger than daylight.

there seems to be such ambivalence towards darkness, i think more than
anything else.  it is filled with fear and forboding of the unknown, and a
peacefullness. people create monsters and fall in lone in the dark - i
wonder what it is about darkness?  these same things happening in daylight
take on a different feel.

and that's the best part - silhouette of the whole moon, a sliver of light
and the milky way streaming silently past.
