The light a late city chose to hide. No stars in between.
📷 nocturnal-deviations
Unfinished but done: The evening settling, pictures of the day slowly fading, conversations quiesced. Muted notifications, a sip from a slowly emptying glass, eyes following words that form lines and paragraphs, trying to decipher both rhythm and meaning and being not particularly good at both. Temporary cognitive limitations, a state of mind more than just slightly tired. Have a soft night wherever you are.
Way later: Entering standby mode. Bottles opened, emptied. Thoughts wrapped up, shelved again with the book of the day. Stars in a silent dark, spots of light in a cool room, mind drawing lines around random constellations once more. Strange animals, clueless stories, all along the edges of a sleepy consciousness. Have a soft night wherever you are.
Calming down. Letting the whirling thoughts settle. Nothing like the presence of the creek flowing down the hill, disappearing in between willows and bushes and tall grass. Fireworks in the distance, music somewhere closer nearby but still mostly devoid of any identifiable sound to attach to. All spanned by a large soft blanket of dark sky. In between realities, again and ever. Have a soft night everyone wherever you are.
A lot later and seemingly early. Not aligned with the day still, not striving to be, anymore. Appending new messages to old issue reports. Dedicated services, default credentials, procedures derailed, wondering which kind of exchange might happen with random strangers running into each other in this kind of environment. Inspiration through confusion, or əxactly the opposite. Maybe not the right time to pursue meaningful thoughts, either. No shapes in the clouds, but at least a little light in between here and the horizon. Have a safe night everyone wherever you are.
