I choose to drive late at night, when I must drive, after the sun has retreated and the stars claimed their stations above and the sky rendezvous with the earth in the cloak of darkness. And the streetlamps standing rigid like stoic guards of that concrete tunnel into night bid me onward in silence. The steady rhythm of their passing, coupled with the constant whirl of tire and engine bring me closer to the infinite and calm my nerves as I drift deeper into the depths of myself and venture further into the embrace of the night. As I drove, I thought of you, and I thought that I must write.
