it's only dark if you close your eyes

The light breezes in over Northern Europe, much like the joyful migrant birds eager to celebrate spring. It started about a month ago as I was up well past midnight, listening to music and feeling creative - I noticed the sky was not completely dark. A faint turquoise glow, in the north corner of it. A week or so later, the glow was all over the night sky and only the brighter stars could be seen. And now, there are the midnights without stars. Never darker than twilight. The white nights of the north.

I welcome them. But I still light candles in the late evenings.
