Dear God/ess, Every now and then, I have to say a prayer for everyone, everywhere who works the night shift. When our patients come to the hospital in the middle of the night, and have to Labor Down for most of the night, they experience what it is like to stay awake all night long.

And they become totally exhausted. So this prayer is also for them.

The three second power nap is a marvelous was to revive yourself. The trick is to put your hand over your forehead, with pen poised over a piece of paper or a medical record, and dose off into a beautiful dream. It is also important to tell your subconscious mind, " I am rested and alert."

Every moment is sacred, no matter what time of day it is. The time before nightfall is especially powerful, and Ulysses and I are sharing this precious moment in time right now.

The crickets claim the night as their own. So does the moon, the various species of Owl, and the night heron. The lightening bugs, although with us briefly, are mostly abundant at exactly this time of day.

Circadian Rhythm Disturbances have subtle ramifications. Because we eat at all times of day and night, we get pudgy around the middle. We learn to sleep standing up. We become more flexible in the way we experience "time." Sleeping and waking dreams have no apparent separation.

I will always appreciate doing time as a night shifter. There's a lot of Love at night.

Truly.

Om Peace Amen
