Night time is quiet here in Alcácer do Sal. I sit here now and the only sound that disturbs the quiet is the podcast that my wife is listening to downstairs and the crickets outside. Otherwise there is no sound…oh, the roof cracks and creaks occasionally as it cools down from a day of sun shining on it.
With the quietness comes a stillness as well. Nights are still and quiet.
This time in the evening rests me. I sit here reading, jotting down notes, sitting and reflecting.
