Twilight

I think of Twilight Images as the dream-like images that form at the edge of consciousness, the flicker of a face or of an incident, the way an old tune pops up now and then. They come up for me sometimes when I write, sometimes when I meditate. Jungians explore twilight images because they reference something deeper in the sub-conscious. The term is used in the Progoff Journal method as well.

As I get older I find myself exploring those images. I’ve written about the major events of my life—sometimes in memoir, sometimes in fiction—but I’d like to explore the byways too. They’re all part of life. Sometimes the byways are more interesting.

I’m inspired in particular by an artist who spent his life making sketches of things he remembered, then sometimes developed them into larger pieces. He created a fresco out of the little bits of his life.

Of course, a section on my website called Twilight may have other implications as well.
