Clarity

  I have always loved the night! Bright lights hurt my eyes. But I ain't no Vampire neither! That said in my best Rodney Dangerfield. But there is solitude in the night, and there is peace! Peace of mind, the kind of peace only available in the quiet of night. Even though there is less light, things are much clearer at night. Certainly the most obvious reason for this, is that there are less people?
  The shadows are the private places, and people fade in and out of the light. Because of the stillness of the night, sounds are amplified, and what they are, and their source is much more apparent at night, there is that clarity about it. There's that word again? Clarity. To achieve clarity on any manner, you must have quiet, or as people often say, Peace and quiet? But the two go hand and hand, because though you can have peace without quiet, you cannot  have quiet without peace!
  In the night, the shades and tones of things are much different from the day. The same colors, but shaded with blacks grays and blues mostly. But the light tears away at the shadows, done in soft yellows, and stark brilliant whites! They tear into the night like office lights suddenly turned on in a darkened office, like a flash of a noonday sun!
