Pondering the Magic of Nature
Diane
Some times I get up in the middle of the night, fix a cup of tea, stroll outside and curl up in a chair on my patio... and sitting in the silence of the night, I ponder the magic of nature. I wonder about the oceans and their ebbs and flows... the moon how it rises then sets in the night sky, casting dark silver shadows across the landscapes, then slowly drops off the horizon just before the sun pops up to illuminate and smile on the new day...how a pending storm feels ominous, but in it's wake it washes away the impurities , while it caresses and nourishes the earth.
I too have ebbs and flows...and pending storms within, filling me with fear, anger, disappointment, loneliness, and uncertainty ...casting dark shadows across the landscape of my soul... and just as I feel I can endure no more... I start to weep...my tears stream down my face, washing away my sorrow, my doubts, my pain...a gentle peace cradles me and thoughts of blessings illuminate my soul...a smile begins to crack against my dry tears ...and thoughts of Love caress and nourish me once more...sitting in the silence of the night, pondering the magic of nature...the magic of our Oneness!!!

I too love the night, there is something comforting and womb like about the night, magical,
the night sky leaves me in awe.
Oh Zephyr! Yes, Yes, how truly comforting the night sky with her host of stars dancing around the stillness of the full moon, ushering in a time… without interruption…of quiet reflection.. of honest introspection…of magic to explore the depths of our inner most thoughts and feelings!!!
I find it really helps to cry sometimes. i like night time too. cozy in my bed on a cool night listening to the wind.
Oh dear Jenni! To release the flood gates of our heart makes us feel alive…tears of joy…tears of sorrow…tears of love.. filled with compassion for all beings..
Dear lovely Diane,
Yes the night is magic, may be we can get in touch with our feelings more easily because we're less distracted by all things that we see in the daylight.
Where I live it doesn't get real dark anymore because of the lights of the town but also because there are a lot of greenhouses in the area that are lit all the time. There even exists some organization that tries to get the nights back. And they are right. I like the dark, the stars show brighter, it is very magical and we need that to stay in touch with the rhythms of nature. I love lying in the dark and just FEEL the night and hear the sound of silence.
In the country it gets real dark and all the stars show just like Vincents painting starry night. That really gets one in touch with the infinite beings we are, doesn't it?
I really liked your comparison from the ebbs and flows in nature to our inner tides. Yes we are so one with all.
And the tears, Oh sweet Diane don't we all know about the tears, and yes they are cleansing and giving room again for the soft whisper of spirit to tell us how much we are loved.
Big hug and waves of Loooovvveeee from Alluvja.
P.S. Oh and wasn't it good Jeannies gingerbread ……mmmm..on our girls teaparty…….oh how I loved that cream ..(.hush…..shhh…don't tell anyone 'cos I'm on a diet..but I was off one day just for our party…)!
Dearest Sweet Alluvja,
I am coming over there right now and put a blanket over all the lights in the city, so you can enjoy the stars dancing around the moon…and make magical wishes on shooting stars…and dream of fireflies lighting up the path for the night fairies…even if for just one night for you!!!
Waves of Love to you too my sweet sister…
PS I'm still wiping the cream off my chin after Jeannie's gingerbread delights… What fun we had, didn't we!!!
