Vata Time

I am so glad to be writing in the afternoon.
It feels like writing time.
It feels dreamy.
The Ayurvedic tradition says that 2-6 pm is Vata time.
Vata is the etheric energy,
The creative energy.
The other Vata time is from 2-6 am in the morning.
That’s why people often rise early 
To work on creative pursuits.
It is charged with otherworldly energy.
It is full of unexpected insights, and movement.
It seems like you can always get more done 
In these early hours before the sun comes up,
Not because you’re working harder,
But because it comes easier.
