I have a friend who loves to go on cruises, I asked him what is so enticing about it. He said he loves the starry night sky in the darkness of the open sea. It is humbling and the pettiness in his life drops away; it is a deeply spiritual experience for him. Truthful words, "...And yet it is only by exploring the darkness that we become more acquainted with the light…and so the paradox of living goes on..." Thank you for your insightful comment. Enjoy the warm sunshine of the long summer days down under! Peaceful cheers. :D Hello Maithri,

Beautiful words my friend, “the softness of moonlight on rippling water, the fall and drape of shadows across a lonely wall… speaks to something deep in the human spirit…”

Your poetic description reminds me of monsoon season in the tropics when the overhead clouds are all shades of purple-green -grays and the roaring sound of rain and wind on tin roofs is cozy and comforting. Your Winter projects sound delightful! I enjoy the sense of whimsy I get when I visit your blog. It's what the world needs more of; lightheartedness and beauty in art, music and poetry. May your winter projects be filled with richness and joy! Hello Princess Haiku,

Yesterday, I noticed how much earlier darkness falls. Winter is a creative time for me. Days of moonstone pearl with overhead clouds, and rain a torrent against glass windows, keeps one inside and on task. I am planning to do a series of poetic collages this winter and work on a long fiction project in process. I appreciate the kind comments you leave on my space.

There is something alluring about the darkness of night that brings out the sense of magic and mystery no matter how old we are. As a child I loved the night, looking up into the sky, I felt it was home, feeling very close to the moon and the stars. Happy, wonderfilled weekend Alexys. :D I have only seen Sunset Boulevard in the movies; I imagine it would be a great place to watch people!

I used to walk along Sunset Boulevard (a famous street in Los Angeles) and feel the energy of the people coming out to enjoy the evening. Whether they were heading to nightclubs, restaurants, hotels or comedy venues, there was something unspeakable in their action and intention. The excitement and the joy of people visiting was also cool. They had the wonder of children. For me night time is the best time to observe people. Happy weekend. :D Hi Miruh,
