Sleep

When we were kids, night times were scary because there were monsters hiding under the bed. When you get older the monsters are different...loneliness, regret. And though you may be older and wiser, you still find yourself scared of the dark.

The body is a slave to it's impulses. But the thing that makes us human is what we can control. After the storm, after the rush, after the heat of the moment has passed, we can cool off and clean up the messes we made. We can try to let go of what was. Then again...

Sleep... it's the easiest thing to do. You just close your eyes. But for so many of us, sleep seems out of our grasp. We want it but we don't know how to get it. But once we face our demons, face our fears, and turn to each other for help, that time isn't so scary because we realize we aren't all alone in the dark.
