Seeing in the Dark (part 2 of TBD)

All day yesterday I was waiting for a moment in which to record this message. When I finally had a moment, the power was out! This is part 2 in a series of as yet to be determined how many about living off the grid while living on the grid.

It can feel really jarring to go from having lots of light to having almost no light at all. Which is why it can be helpful to practice living with natural light. Two invitations...

Maybe try an “indoor sunset” where, as the sun goes down outside, the lights go down inside.

Spend a bit of time outside at night under the moonlight once this month, letting your eyes adjust to see more clearly in the dark.

Bonus #3: bring back the pirate eyepatch, and if you do, we all expect pictures.
