The possibilities in darkness

   I have been thinking a lot about vision, or rather, lack of the clear variety lately, engendered mainly by the regular walks that I take among the trees and animals in the early morning hours. At these times, I tend to hear sounds without seeing where they are coming from, and visualize things that don't seem to be there at all.
   I find these dark spaces to often be exhilarating and inspiring, and have begun thinking about how they might be experienced in other contexts. It's not that I have a strong wish to produce visual art, but I do desire finding other avenues, besides my writing, where I might activate the freedom I can feel in the low, quiet light of the early day.
   It is in these spaces, when things seem so still, that I seem able to be most free in my thinking.
