It's good to hear the night shift take over the part of our world we
call home. The coyote yaps off in the brush, calling his family to
the hunt. The quail have a soft cluck and rustle down by the creek.
The crickets set up the background music for all this in a spooky
kind of harmony. It's a resting time for most, but for those who
will postpone sleep, there is the secret of another world, where we
slow down a little and take a bit more time with our lives. A time
when we can hear the world heal a little before it goes back into
daily battle again. A time when we can smile and sit and just say
thanks for bringing us to another evening like this. If we like, we
can do a little mental planning for the next day. Or not.
A country evening is what we get for being good all day.
