All things are visible at night

by cliodhna

I think my hidden blogger who has been suppressed for so many years is starting to emerge. Like Travelling Uncle Matt from the fraggles. These are postcards in code hanging in cyberspace ready for anyone to view them. All fellow fraggles who like to play more than work unite!
I am in Morelia waiting for my brother to wake up so I can wander round the town with him. He is playing with an orchestra from Ireland at the International Music festival here. So I hopped on a bus to join him for his free day before hightailing it back to guanajuato to keep making bags. Craft fair in three weeks!!!!!
...and I am still waiting for my credit card console to arrive from Ulster bank. I started organising it in july... very long tedious story of endless phonecalls.

Anyway I was sitting in the bus on the way here and was struck by the hidden nature of darkness and the night. In the day time we can see everything but we only see the surface reality, what we project onto things (and there is nothing outside us except ourselves) and our minds can make sense and explain and reason away anything we don´t understand. But at night there is nothing the mind can hook onto and we project into the darkness all our fears and imaginings. Think of all the horror movies, when are they ever set in daylight on a nice beach somewhere? Or I remember being a child and being afraid to stick my feet out over the bed in case the little people who live under the bed would come out and chop them off, or another time not so long ago walking in a forest in a full moon and becoming absolutly terrified of werewolves.
So I thought that if I wanted to find something hidden in me that won´t come out I can sit in the nighttime somewhere dark and see what emerges!

I like your thoughts about the night very much. Have you ever read any C. G. Jung? I think you would really get into it.
