Close your eyes to ponder, rest, meditate. There in the dark you can think pleasant thought, imagine future plans, remember happy days. But in the deepest dark of the night when your mind is active, the thoughts are not positive. They are worrisome, gruesome, disastrous. Timing your dark times seems to make a difference. Daydream more, lie awake less.
Please leave a comment with your first 50 words on the topic “in the dark.”

Has taken many years
for her to learn
Just because the mind
says it
she does not have to listen.
No one told her how difficult
it is to control the mind.
Don’t answer, explain, get angry,
just let it flow through
as you breathe deeply
Then you forget the mind thoughts.
Love your blog – thanks for all of these great idea seeds… I have been remiss while finishing my novel – but plan to get back to “First 50″ practice soon.
I have nominated you for the Kreativ Blogging award and didn’t want you to be “in the dark” about it – so here are the details – congrats!
