Moonlit sky and stars gazing at you… As you stand on the rooftop terrace, or lay on the sand at the sea; all you see is a wide spread sky with open arms. There’s truly a beauty at the darkest hours of the day, and nights; oh the nights have my heart arrested!
What do you feel and think at nights and about nights? I can bet on this that nights aren’t the same for every other individual… also, not all nights are the same. It is not just about the Moon that rises, but also how it rises for you! The way Sun has set and the manner in which it had risen, for you. May be nights aren’t about Moon when it comes to you. There are some individuals who try to find the planets who aren’t as easily noticeable as the mighty Moon. However, it isn’t about the planets or satellites or the stars more than its about what emotions it arose in you.
The beauty of nights when indoor, can be defined in sync with the person you are and the company you keep. There are nights when heart is heavy and then there are those when the brain is its savvy. There exists nights when one craves for a human company while the others when solitude is a priority. Some which do not make to either extremes, they aren’t as overpowered as the prior. Cannot not mention a night which weighs the heaviest, carrying the load of things one has kept for later to deal with. It is humane to have all these kinds of nights and yet, my friend; nights have their beauty to keep when they hold you from falling; when you hold yourself from failing yourself: each day and night when you choose to take the best it had to offer.
If you have ever been adventurous enough and then, enough adventurous to climb a hill at night, you will know what having climbed looks like. For that look at the shining sky, you managed to get your whole body shining with sweat. It begins to make sense when you are breathless, panting yet smiling your heart out; visible in your purest eyes. That is what life partially is. You go on to get the things you desire, you know the value of your dreams, there’s respect within, and you trust the process of reaching as you admire the steps to reach. When accomplished, there is an intoxication of happiness with newly found courage to keep going.
Dive deeper into abstract meaning of nights and they talk to your soul. Nights are about building yourself, holding yourself when you need a support, asking for a shoulder when the need be. The beauty of the nights is also magnified when you are a pillar to someone else. Because while the stars shine bright out in the sky, there can be someone who cries their heart out as they reach their threshold of overwhelmed state. Those tears shed, they too have a purpose in life. Every tear dropped can be seen as pain and negativity got rid of. Perhaps that has so much in common of a night to it; dark, lighter and light!
To the next time when you will find yourself in the company of night, imagine how the very night which is so personal, so subjective to you is also shared by others making it universal at the same time. There will be some entities who will look at the night sky and say wow, others will prefer to surrender to the awe of night, still others who will communicate with the Moon and planets, some who count the stars; perhaps some won’t care as much to breathe into the heavenly sky. Few might be having heavy hearts and filled eyes. Loud, silent, pretty, calm, soothing, mesmerizing, curious, romantic, resilient, scared, angry, happy, sad, strong, courageous… all shades of human emotions shared with an open dark, lit sky. Each contributing to the becoming we are part of.
Here’s to the beauty of nights; loved, lived and cherished.
Yours,
J.
