Three A.M. on a fall night. Location: irrelevant. No wind, no clouds, no noise. The highway is even absent of vehicles at this hour. Pure bliss. Maybe there is a distant sound of some power plant or a lone car in a neighborhood street but still silence. The temperature is cold but not freezing and the dull street lamp is still despite its fluctuating brightness. The night is a guilty pleasure of mine because it is so desolate. I imagine the streets empty during the day, as if no life were there. Being apart from society is refreshing. When you are the only thing on Earth you can’t do anything but appreciate yourself. Your existence defines all that exists and you are seemingly happy. I wish all a good night. Enjoy the moments when you can feel alone because in a society as this the true definition of alone escapes us. When all you know is relative to others, is alone comforting? It is to me.
