I think the yard light suddenly shines.
The street lights will do the same and soon we will ask Alexa to turn on the “The Lamp” in our living room.
This is one of the daily routines that we do not think too much. The sun is settling and another day is disappearing.
It is interesting how we change as the sun set. We adjust. Nightfall is something with which we should deal with and prepare. Like that yard lamp that shines a light… on whom? Is the danger or danger of the night or just a lot of mystery and shadow?
Perhaps this light is more comfortable as it is illuminating because I think it’s a bit safe.
Our dog likes to go out on its long strap line and make its rounds and nests in the grass. He does this day and night. But when he is out at night, there is some nervousness attached. Cuckoo probably? Or perhaps this is just everything we cannot see.
I am paying more attention to the opposite of this night and day because I am a writer Amy E. The dean came into an observation in his book “Night Light”.
He wrote, “I soon came to know that due to the stir of the day, the daylight chased many of my fear.” “There were many things to see people, and – as Robert Frost says -” Before I leave for miles. ” Each new dawn made new promises and new starts. But what did the sunset catch? What was to focus at night? ,
Interesting questions that surprise me about our relationship for the Sun’s cycle. Somehow the big ball of fire in the sky gives us hope, brightening our spirits with a new day and opportunities.
Well, this is not true for everyone at all times, but what I would say about Dean, will underline how it can pursue fear. At night we can be more cautious but the daving sun helps us relax. But let’s dig a little deeply.
Think about how we react to different types of light. I have cue to toss another quotation. It is from an English writer Zeenat Wintorson.
“I have seen that when all the lights are on, people talk about what they are doing – their outer life,” she said. “Sitting rounds in candlelight or firelight, people start talking about how they are feeling – their inner life. They speak thematicly, they make less arguments, there are long stagnation.
“Sitting alone alone without light light is curious. I have my best ideas in the morning or night, but no, if I switch to the lights – then I start thinking about projects, time limit, demands, and shadows and size of the house, become objects, not suggestions, not things that need to be done, not to consider a background. ,
So true, isn’t it? The flame of light bulb vs. flicker. It does make a difference. No wonder people love fireplace in their homes. They are just another version of the camp fire.
The yard and street lights attack the dark. A camp fire welcomes the night, dances with the shade and embraces people who bends in it.
A cycle of friends adds to a warm throat with twinkling light and heat with a camp fire. And when they are in the dark, who does not love hugs?
Yes, let’s add the campfire and hugs to the long list that helps us to get through the night.
