The lights over the lanai cast sufficient light for me to read while rendering the world beyond in total darkness. I watch the creatures of the night emerge, attracted by the light. Aircraft fly over bringing visitors to the island and residents home. Crickets whistle, the wind blows, distant traffic chase by.

I return to my book surrounded by a world that at one time I am familiar with, and at the same time a stranger to.
