I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night so figuring out today’s poem took a little more brain than usual. Turns out, lack of sleep can be its own reward… or at least its own inspiration… I think reward may be a little strong. Enjoy! On Lack of Sleep Come sleep, long sleep, deep…

Once again, life has conspired to delay a post. I’m still in the fight, but some days it’s lions 47, gladiators 0. Yesterday was one of those days. On Being a Night-Owl Bright and blessed the day may be, But sacred is the night. Life’s labours done beneath the sun, But sacred is the night.…
