Raindrops And Moonbeams

liaga-ligatio.jpg 

I have always had a hard time falling asleep. My mind often refuses to disengage. It keeps rambling on; regurgitating the events of the day and at times memories of long ago. I have grown to enjoy this time when the world is silent. The white noise of the air conditioning and the breathing of my wife beside me lulls me to if not sleep at least to a point where I can sift through my subconscious thoughts. Unlike a deep sleep, I can guide these waking dreams. I can right those wrong turns that I might have made in the past. I can speak with those whose voices I will never hear from in the light of day again; speaking those things that I was unable to tell them in life. I can rip apart the very fabric of reality and imagine strange new visions and alternate worlds.

Tonight the rain is softly falling upon the window panes. It promises to be a good night to dream. Goodnight.

  1. i hear you….this is my night 6 out 7…by the 7th or 8th week of it i’m so exhausted i sleep for a good 10 hours and the whole cycle starts again…i hope your dreams were wonderful and peaceful with the patter of rain on the windows…it always seems to help doesn’t it?

    It did help until the power went out. It is amazing how much we rely on those damnable outlets these days. - Fuzz

  2. Sleep is such a mysterious thing.
    As I told WC, I was up at 2AM unable to turn the cranial faucet off.
    It’s refreshing when we can seemingly ‘right’ things that have gone the wrong way in our waking hours.
    And rain on a window pane? It’s heaven.

    Although when the power went off at 11:30 and the air conditioner went out it wasn’t quite so heavenly. But that’s the breaks. - Mac

  3. Yes, i like snuggling down to sleep - just me and my thoughts. I think I may get that rain tonight.

    Enjoy the rain. We are due for more rain this weekend. I was hoping to camp a bit but it looks like that won’t happen. - Fuzz

  4. Hope you got some much needed rest.

    So do I. And I am glad that you found my little joint. Hope it doesn’t bore you to tears. - Fuzz

  5. fuzz…you are such a great writer. i’m so proud of you for keeping your writing going…on so many different places…for so long. writing is such a great outlet…for creativity, expression, healing, etc.

    i used to have a horrible time sleeping…actually had insomnia for years…like years of not sleeping, ever. it was horrid. i have no idea how i even functioned during that time.

    in any case, i’ve been dropping baggage like crazy and i find i am much better able to fall asleep, and stay asleep every night. i actually look forward to, instead of dread going to sleep. and when i do wake up, i’ll do reiki on myself to fall asleep again.

    works like a charm…

    hope all is well.

    much love darlin’

    All is very well. I am a bit sore today from some martial arts training that I have undergone. That should help me sleep. - Fuzz

    Thanks, it is a far cry from my other little blog ventures. - Fuzz
