Thank Heaven for Insomnia!

 

Weird right I mean who wants to stay up nights? Simple. I do. Why would I wanna do that you ask? Well, thereby hangs a tale. Come, let me tell you a story.

 

It’s been a long day and there’s an even longer walk awaiting you to your bus stop. A long journey from there to where you stay. Well all of this cumulates in you feeling worn out by the time you get home, lacking the energy to do anything but hit the hay. I’m sure many professionals will sympathize with me on this. However, consider this. What happens in each of the three stages of your journey? Do you notice the kids playing in the parks? Do you hear the televisions in the houses? do you realize you are being followed by a dog? Do you understand that as the day fades, your senses heighten, because you feel slightly threatened by the things you can’t see? Have you ever considered opening your eyes and looking into the darkness, dilated pupils straining to make out if the weird shadow in front of you is a tree or the Loch Ness Monster? There, now are you scratching your head? Wondering, “what the heck is this kid blabbering on about? Who has time for these silly games? I just wanna go home dammit!” Well, tell me, isn’t it a better way to kill time while you are waiting for your bus?

Next time try to listen to the night. The next time insomnia hits you like a tow truck, make yourself a cup of coffee and sit by an open window or on your front porch. Everyday, we are told a new story by Mother Nature. Listen. If you listen, you’ll realize what magic is. You’ll be enchanted, enthralled and the graphics will blow you away.

  1. I think youth these days burn the midnight oil too often when they are studying. And when exams are over, they don't know what to do with their endless nights! :D
    But, sounds like a good time-pass - listening what the Night has to say!
