stuck at four in the morning

All the horrors seem worse at four in the morning. Or maybe the early hour opens a dark window on the truth. Which ever it is, it's hard to get back to sleep and lay to rest the tumult in the head, the doubt and distress of the day.

The blind silence concentrates the mind and, in the absence of other stimuli, it focuses in upon itself; dwelling in the deep dark recesses that should be mostly left unstirred at the bottom of the black pot.

But at four in the morning it seems all there is to do is to stare into that black abyss.


Flux level: low, with severe conditions probable by one three double oh.
Long range forecast: rising more slowly
