Moon and Night Sky

On summer nights when it is hot and clammy indoors, when you can feel the sweat beading and running down your back, take a few moments to stand outside and gaze into the sky.  There is so much happening up there.  The clouds, the stars, the colours, the many shades of darkness and shadow and myriad layers of quiet.

It's a rare kind of comfort that comes from the darkness of night, from the coolness of the moon.  It radiates with a light that washes everything in its cool and calming blueness.  It soaks into the fibre of one's being, seeps into your grain, relaxing, soothing and relieving the heat that bundles up in your muscles after the stress of days.

It certainly is a strange kind of an energy that emanates from the light of the moon.  Lonely, cool, calming and soulful, washing over everything like a silver blue rinse.  And it's comforting to look up past the stars, into all that deep night and know that we really are a part of something far huger than ourselves.
