After a day of travel; finally, bedtime. I tucked myself into the softness, turned off the light and saw stars playing tag and dancing, twirling, through the darkness like lightening bugs in the twilight tree-shadows of a mid-summer's night. Once my eyes adjusted, the twinkling faded and the dresser melted back and forth between silhouette and solid, in and out, teasing me from the edge. I turned on the light, got out of bed, and walked into the living room, to listen to the waves and convince myself that I was not completely crazy—something I have suspected for years.
