Summary

This quote is an ode to the beauty and spiritual significance of the night. It suggests that during the day, with its constant analytical and often destructive tendencies, our focus is on deconstructing things, losing touch with what is truly important. However, when night descends, words fade away, and a deep sense of inner peace takes over. It is during this time that our fragmented selves are restored and we can grow and flourish, akin to a tree finding tranquility in the darkness.

I rarely feel it with a whole piece, but sometimes with a line you feel that it really captured what it is that you had inside you and you got it out for a stranger to read, someone who may never love you or meet you, but he or she is going to get that experience from that line.
