											I awoke the other night in darkness  literal and metaphorical  and found myself in a forlorn state, feeling overwhelmed by the busyness of the world, love-less in an empty bed, and isolated from my friends in New York.  I had forgotten myself. 
											  
											I was afraid to turn on the lamp (to shed harsh light on reality), so I laid there quietly feeling the night expanding around me. What am I? What am I failing to do? What is my purpose in this life? 
											  
											As I stared into the inky blackness, I noticed sparks of light  could it be inspiration?  Maybe it was just random firings of overworked neurons.
