Stillness of the Night

Staying up past 2 am allows me to enjoy the stilllness of the night. Night has a soft calming peaceful quiet over me. I must have been born a night owl. Even when I was a small child, I would prefer to stay up late, no curfew ever worked for me. My mom eventually gave up and I would set my own sleeping hours. Have to give credit to my dear mom for letting me stay up all night. The clocks reads 4:10 now soon it will be daybreak. Just finished a conversation with a sleepless friend. The nightfall gives me perspective of life. Nowdays, daytime seems so hectic busy, pressing on forward, no time to ponder, stop to smell the roses and take a deep breath and listen to our own hearts. Constantly we are all busy chasing our dreams, whatever they may be or just getting through the day without breaking down.
