I like to wander the streets after dark. All I need to do is step outside and everything just seems to come alive. There is a book called After Dark by Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. I would like to read up on this book someday. Murakami  is one of my favorite authors. Highly feminist and unique writing style. I picked up 1Q84 but did not want to start because with my addictive personality I know once I start I will not be able to stop…and this means not a damn thing will get done :-)

Many of us are afraid of darkness. But we all know too well of the good old cliché ‘without darkness, there is no light’. We all encounter darkness…does not matter when or how. And no matter how we perceive it we all know that darkness unavoidably exists. So in that respect, I believe darkness deserves to be explored a little more.
