Living Against the Grain of Nature

Here in Michigan this time of year, it stays dark late into the morning and becomes dark early in the evening. I left work today at 6PM in complete darkness. Makes me think we should live our lives according to the light. Maybe the darkness is earth’s way of telling us to stop, to rest. Maybe we’re meant to be awake for more time in the summer than we are in the winter; that is certainly the case with other creatures. Why not us?
