Night or the World

Do you venture into the shadows of the evergreens when nothing is to be seen but in shades of a raven? Do you call out for company when the sun is at rest, when the stars and moon seem to be the only sign of visible life? What are we afraid of, the night, or the un-known? From sunset to sunrise is open season for crimes from robbery to grand theft auto. But we aren’t afraid of the shadows at night. If you were to move to a gated community with Amish folks you would gladly prance about in the darkness with no protection, for it is the thought of the future, the mysterious path that lay before us, that we tremble at. When you anxiously await the call of the manager at that fast food place you interviewed at, you think to yourself, “What if I was too dressed up?”, “What if I said something stupid I didn’t catch?” You fear the fact that the interview was a waste of time. So the next time you fear the shadow at night, remember it’s not the trees hiding something it’s the world.
