It gets hard to remember what it's like. Almost complete darkness is mandatory. The moon and stars come to center stage and it gets hard to pull my eyes away from anything else. It doesn't matter if I'm laying in the grass or sitting on the 5x5 cement front porch. Controlled immobility. Relaxed breathing. Time becomes non-existent which is the best relief to exist. Thoughts begin filtering through at the exact pace where I stop second guessing things. The probability of being interrupted is practically impossible since no one leaves the house after 9pm in these parts. You think I'm kidding? Porch lights are even off, they don't bother to keep them on anymore.
When the opportunity presents itself, I take full advantage. This is the only time in the world where I can function coherently. Most kids will say they need the distraction "to be one with the world", well, I've never felt more part of anything when I get it. I'm knowledgeable about everyone and everything...especially myself. The chips fall into place if you will.
This is silence and It's mine.
