It is now seven minutes past four on Tuesday morning, This has been the situation for the past few days, an awakening at this hour and then a long period of not going back to sleep. This is all inside the deep silence of a limestone cave in the department Loir et Cher in the French province of Centre.
This time decide to continue this daily blog at this time.
The cave is cold and beautiful, there is a steady draught of cold air coming from a second cave that is keeping the air cool and dry. There is no sound to cause this awakening, maybe it is the deep silence itself that is the cause. The heavy leaden tiredness six hours ago that made going to bed a necessity has now gone, leaving the body and the brain awake in the dark.
Use this computer to first check on the electronic mail and then to check on the progress of the current wars in the world. There is no war in the New World yet, but that cannot be far away now.
Old world charm has gone sour.
The cave is pitch black dark outside this pool of light from the computer screen, the computer screen itself a window presenting a narrow view of the world.
