Waking Up Early, Waking Up Late
It's nearly 1 am and I just woke from a fitful sleep.
Hook is on the TV somewhere in the background. Peter Pan is all grown up and can't fly. He's having a hard time holding to a happy thought. Just one happy thought.
Something tells me that I won't be able to sleep until around 4 am. Same deal as yesterday's.
Yesterday I spent the evening with surrogate friends and adrift from all conversation. With no disclosures, I slept at 4 am. Only to wake up at 7 am to say goodbye.
When I woke up this morning my first thought was borrowed from Asimov waxing poetry. "During sunrise, everything is luminous but not clear." Or something like that. And half-asleep and half-awake, the truth in it centered into my consciousness.
Spender mentioned sadness, like happiness, is also an emotion. It is. And it is found in a short terse reply softened by a smiley. Bye :).
I think I'll have a hard time waking up early again.
