The night was too cold for sitting, but I sat. It was so cold, even Time's pulse slowed. To distract my mind from my discomfort, I focused on the stars. I counted roughly 63 of them before the sound of a neighbor shutting his or her second floor window broke my concentration.

As soon as my sitting time was up, I rushed inside and grabbed the camera. I wanted to experiment and see if I could take some nighttime video. I strapped on my headlamp, leaned down so the camera was nearly on the ground, and filmed the rock path that has been on my mind lately.

After several takes, I finally managed to keep the camera focused on the light and capture footage that didn't make me dizzy. Back inside, I stitched the two best clips together and added Simon & Garfunkel's "I Am a Rock" to give the forty-second video some spirit.
