A thought for the midwatch:
Funny thing about the middle of the night.
There isn’t much around to measure yourself against.
The neighbor’s boat disappears into the darkness.
Nobody’s keeping score.
Yesterday is finished.
Tomorrow hasn’t shown up yet.
For a little while, there is just this moment.
Maybe that’s why quiet has a way of showing us things daylight misses.
Strip away the comparisons, the plans, the lists, and all the things we think we still need…
and sometimes what remains is surprisingly simple.
A safe anchorage.
Someone you love.
Something worth doing when morning comes.
And another sunrise, if we’re fortunate enough to see it.
At this hour, that feels like plenty.
Enough, even.
Night orders: Rest easy. We’ve got enough for tonight.
