I am with you...sometimes my best lines, or ideas come at night while I wake for sleep to bless my dreams. But, instead, the most beautiful lines come to my mind, the stillness, the roar of a car passing by...where it is going? What i can say, I enjoyed your essay.

I love your self musing, and raising Leonard Cohen as a fount of wisdom, (I love that song, I actually sung it to the hungry poor at a giveaway food place) but I suspect his wisdom was extracted from a religious background, the lyrics could be slightly off pitch scripture, he had enough talent to get away, as any would do for the benefits, this is a great piece of pondering, richly humble and learned at the same time, well done Jay, good to have you back, blessings Roy

    I thank you so much for reading this, Roy. It was fun to write. Not much skill to it. Just a lot of self-talk.

    I have intelligent conversations with myself too Jay, hem hem.

Some interesting ramblings here..and so it often goes when one cannot sleep. Funny the random thoughts that go in and out and round and round in our brains.

I am so blessed to be able to read your work again. I always learn from reading your writing, especially different writing technique's. Please hang around for a while. We will all be blessed by your writing. I won't be on again, probably until Saturday. I've been working 12 -13 hour days at school. It's a real mess right now. I retire in June.

    Awww, thank you so much, Barbara. It's good to be back. And I plan to stay, at least a year. June, huh? Great, then you can really dig in.

    Yes, I can really concentrate on my writing then.

That is hysterical! I loved the Dutch boy bit, and, well, the rambling and
different things your mind hit on "during the night."
Lack of sleep IS serious business - wish I could capitalize on it. But my middle of the night rambles aren't as clever as yours.
I do have to say that I love listening to the rain - it's soothing. And it doesn't put you to sleep? Well, anybody who can be funny about not sleeping gets a 6 from me. Good job.
