3:36 Am Night Traveler

I watched the stars leave one by one at the advance of the first light of the sun. I reflected on how determined we are to keep the light of day over all. Did we go wrong when we abandoned the night watch and left it to a few experts? From that long ago date we began to lose our mystics and mysteries. Those that said we are not all, that there are night travelers and unknowns. Some can be made clear in the strong light of the day, but many more can not. We convince ourselves that all can be explained, or could be, by wrapping ourselves in daylight. Under the stars and the night travelers we are truly naked with much to learn.
