Lots of people, mystics and such, use this time before dusk to explore a different realm.

Before kids I always worked the morning shift — a byproduct of growing up on farm and having chicken feeding egg gathering duties. Then with my babies they all nursed at 2 am followed by playtime which I grew to love as a special time.

Now I often get a text around 2 am letting me know they are safe and sound!

I have life time worth of twilight musings that live in shoeboxes in my closet. I visit them every so often — they are like old friends — the kind of friend where time never lapses, picking up right where you left off the last time you spent time together.
