YEAR OF ZEN: AUTUMN: DAY 80

Moonlit Landscape with Bridge - Aert van der Neer

Q: What does the arrival of night bring up for you?

A: Nigh has always brought on a complex set of emotions. My lizard brain is triggered by night to seek out safety and shelter. My memories are full of adventures at night, a transgressive space where I think most youth have always found solace. Lately, maybe because of oncoming winter and long nights, the night has become a place for comfortable routines like spending time with my family, or in solitude where I can end one day and prepare for the next.
