Champion of the Sun

In the darkness of night. In dimly lit alleys and in shadows on creaky wooden porches.

That's when mysteries are formed and revealed. Right?


Ah, but I'm finding the mysteries of the day are far more complex. Day people are creatures who openly move about during daylight hours, who run errands while freely soaking up vitamin D instead of squeezing in a grocery store trip by moonlight after a long day at the office. They are the women who attend mid-morning yoga classes, the city employees who clean up roadside brush and the backpack-clad kids who saunter home from the bus in the afternoon.

I never thought much about the day people or what day things happened when I was tucked away in an office. But now that home is my office, answers to some of my previously unknown yet apparently burning questions have been revealed.
