Writing Moods

I don't know what it is but sometimes I get in writing moods. They almost always occur at night, often quite late at night. Sometimes I will write about things that have been on my mind, or on something that has occurred. But although I keep a journal, my writing is rarely a diary of events. It is a catchall for my thoughts, my reflections on life. Writing for me is a mode of expression. It is also a time of clarification and solidification. Tonight was one of those writing nights. I did happen to write in my journal about an event that sparked some thought, so in that respect it was a rare night. And while that subject will remain private, I wanted to write more. That is how this got written.
