There’s
something to be said for the brightness of day, of course,
when the energies of
the world improve our lot in life. But for a special time,
give me the night.
Give me the soft, velvety quiet of a country evening and its
own sounds and
flavors and scents.
It’s good to hear
the night shift take over
the part of our world we call home. The coyote yaps off in the
brush, calling
his family to the hunt, the quail have a soft cluck and rustle
down by the
creek. The crickets set up the background music for all this
in a spooky kind
of harmony.
It’s a resting time
for most, but for those
who will postpone sleep, there is the secret of another world,
where we slow
down a little and take a bit more time with our lives. This is
a time when we
can hear the world heal a little before it goes back into
daily battle again. A
time when we can smile and sit and just say thanks for
bringing us to another
evening like this. If we like, we can do a little mental
planning for the next
day. Or not.
A country evening is
what we get for being
good all day.
