I've been wanting to blog lately, yet haven't had any pleasant ideas. Then something came to my (lately) monotonous mind (-_-) at the moment.
The dark is quite a scary thing. And night is when that darkness blankets over us. But if we take the time to look closely, closer we see that it isn't all that dark without the sun. On nights with a full moon and bright lit up stars, the not so scary night gives of a beautiful soft glow around you.
Besides walking and being lost in my imagination, space is my go to place. My safe haven and happy place at times. I remember years back some amount of nights before school the next day I would stay up a little later than I should have, with my brother looking up at the night sky. Looking for anything that would catch the attention of our eyes. Being able to investigate the sky took me away from everything else at night and its one of my most favourite memories. It is one of the reasons I appreciate that made me a nocturnal creature of the night.
Walking at night watching the stars is the perfect vacation when you can't get away otherwise. And who better to share them with than God?
