The soft and fading light of day has bidden us goodnight. And what a lovely night it is, to walk a moonlit field and see the softer shades that are by starlight now revealed. So why is it that now when all is quiet and at rest, when candles glow around the land that people shun the moon and wait instead for sun of day? I wish that they could see things like I do? To see the wonder of the dark and jewelled sky. To see the terrible and frightening beauty of the dark night.
I chose to see the light in the dark, I chose to see the beauty and chaos of the night. We can either concentrate on the black abyss and see nothing but darkness. Or we can choose to see the star light that lights up the darkest of nights and shows us the way.

Indestructible
I am indestructible. Like the phoenix of old I rise from the ashes of my spent body. I never give up and never retreat. If I am defeated, I try harder, rise and go again. When I am spent, I push on and give it my all. I am a phoenix, the lord of fire, when I die, I will be reborn form the ashes of my broken and old body. I am indestructible, everlasting and never moving. I will never give in or surrender. I may get injured and scared but that will only show what I can take. Show that whatever tried to kill me was not strong enough. I wear the scars with honour, as a badge or medal of war. Each telling its own story and its own feelings. I do not fear defeat or death for I know I will rise again and be victorious.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
