Reflections
By: Ruth McCleerey
Some weeks finding something to write about is more difficult than others. Had a number of notes but nothing concrete.
Then... came to work early today (Tuesday) to put my fingers to work on the computer. Actually I arrived a little after 6am, made coffee, brought in the daily paper, checked emails and went to work.
ZAP - power blinked a couple times and then total darkness. It’s daylight, but in the Independent building, that has no windows, it might as well be midnight; you can’t see your hand in front of your face.
Used to live in that building, an apartment in the back and when my family came to visit, they were almost drugged with sleep because of the dark. Our bodies react to light (daylight) and kick in.... not so when you wake in total dark.
