11:11 P.M.

The generator hums
Under the house
Dogs bark in the distance
Crickets chirp

A dim light bulb
Lights the cabin
I can't sleep
Again...

After this
I'll lay in bed
Until the twilight
Seeps into the window

What
Will tomorrow bring ?
Who will call ?
Maybe nothing will happen
Nothing... at all

There's a huge spiritual significance to 1111. Whenever I look at the clock and its that time, I pay attention. Its like someone, somewhere is reassuring me.

Maybe these quiet days are setting the stage for an evolution of sorts. A positive one. Never underestimate the power of the universe to pleasantly surprise.

nights seem to last forever when you either cannot fall asleep or stay asleep..

but i am with steph on the coincidence of the time being 11:11... i love those kind of numbers!!!!!

i have had so many nothing days i am nearly at my wits end.. i am hoping i can soon go back to work to ease the agony of too much time and nothing to do....

The numbers definitely mean something. I think what Steph says is very true - when you happen to glance at the clock and see numbers like 11:11 or 12:12 and so on, it is like some form of reassurance. It is like the magic of the universe being played out before you.

Here's to days full of lots of unexpected moments.
