What To Do At 412 Am

It is 4:12 a.m. I am up for what reason? I have a twin who is probably up too. It’s too dark to garden. It’s too early to watch the sunrise. I would go to my art studio… Except the last time I did that at four a.m. I frightened a baby raccoon who ran over my foot. There might be some vampires and werewolves out there too.

Thank you Ann - I have caught two different ones in my garage lately - I know it was not the same one. One was gorgeous, the other not so much.

Raccoon, I believe. Maybe even a mouse. But vampires and werewolves, I doubt. They generally come through your bedroom window. I know; I know from experience.

Ask the universe if they wish to say something. If not, roll over and sleep again

The universe seems to always want to say something to me, which is why I often wake up hearing a man yell "CAREN!" in my head. I did not figure out until recently that I needed to ask "What?" I am ready next time.

I hope you wrote this poem at that time! That’s what you can do…
