THE SIMPLE THINGS: BY DAY AND BY NIGHT.

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
-Edgar Allen Poe

This my first-born son.  My night-owl buddy.  The guy with an imagination that has no limits.  He is in a constant state of dreaming.

And what a lucky guy he is to have that gift.  

And lucky I am, when I get to hear him tell me about all the things he's been dreaming about all day long.  Usually right before bed, when the thoughts have percolated all day in his mind, and they want out.  As the words tumble out of him, the ideas form more fully and he comes alive at night.  Like the wise owl he is.

 By day...

"A dreamer is one who can find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."  
-Oscar Wilde

...and by night.
