An Epiphany at Dawn

Night Cloud, Oil, ca. 1980    Collection of Rachel J. Yokum


I am struggling with insomnia. Ann writes it off as age-related, but I believe there is more to it.
Every night I fall asleep in my recliner, which is actually good for me for reasons too boring to list here, then wake up between 2 and 4 a.m. and make my way to bed. I cannot get back to sleep except after days of working. I thought it was fatigue that brought sleep but this morning I had one of those epiphanies for dumb people. Maybe I can’t sleep because my mind is spinning over things I want to accomplish but don’t. When I do accomplish, I sleep. Maybe.
Anyway it is clear that my mind wants me to write in my blogs. Okay mind, I give up.
I’ll start with this long-neglected blog; thanks for finding it!
There’s another one just below this one that I published an hour ago. More to follow very soon.

Eva, I’m keeping my word to you.
