Lucid waking

I was chatting with my sweetheart and reading the introduction chapter to Alan Watts’, The Wisdom of Insecurity. What I should’ve done was turn in early. Hive account@guthrie woke up around 4AM, calling out to us twice before falling asleep to his bedtime playlist. While the boys have returned to dreamland I’m stuck in the torturous place in between. My body is clearly begging for rest but my mind continues to buzz. So here I am.

This morning I’m sharing another image from my set from two days go. Can you see why I decided to post this one on it’s own? It definitely has a different mood from the first. This was where I captured the most light out of all the other photographs before it vanished completely. Yesterday, while planning for another shoot, it slipped my mind to check the weather forecast. Of course I confirmed the time for sunset but I overlooked the fact that it would remain cloudy all evening. I was already committed to the idea of shootings so I made it work.

If you squint your eyes while staring at this image then it almost looks like I’m gathering a bunch of energy into my body so that I can unleash it or maybe I’m just feeling extra sparkly. Excuse my nerd thoughts, I watch too much anime.

My only options now is to attempt to sleep for the third time or quietly make my way downstairs to prep for the start morning. I’m gonna try to sleep...
