Darkness

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow,
Take my hand, and let me sleep.
In the coolness of your shadow,
In the silence of your deep. 

 So says the song "Darkness, Darkness" by Jesse Colin Young.

In this time of autumn equinox, I am grateful for the darkness.  Daytime is full of humans, full of demands, full of responsibilities.  They want this from me, they want that from me.  They were offended by what I said.  They didn't understand what I said.  They think I did it wrong.  They have a project to be undertaken and they think I'm just the one to do it.

I go home and in darkness I find silence, I find calm.  Thank you darkness for this peace.
