After a partially magical day, having woken up on the wrong side of the bed, with a series of unsettling dreams, I settled down into the night trying to create a video. The flow was just not there, so I gave up and decided to treat myself to some joy. I made myself a cosy hot chocolate, sat in my comfortable rocking chair by the window where the rosemary plant from the outside, nestled up closer to me by the window and I gazed into the sky. I remembered my to do list for joy and was aware that I had not done one of the things I had set up on my list. To stare at the stars. I thought, I’d do it for just a few seconds and then head back in, more to pacify that insistent inner whisper.
As luck would have it, there was just one star in the sky, amongst the masses of clouds piled high in the sky. I listened to some music through my earphones and bopped away to it whilst I stared at the sky and I remembered my old nature friends, the clouds. I had forgotten them. It had been awhile since I had connected in with them.
When I was in high school and I found the monotony of life too unbearable at times with its endless dreary assignments, tests and study, I would lie in my bed and stare out at the sky and imagine….dream….. I would see the clouds and imagine them to be soft and fluffy (knowing fully well that they weren’t!!) and picture myself lying in them, wrapped up in their warmth and love. I would listen to rnb and feel so loved, relaxed and comfortable in these images that they almost instantly brought a smile to my face. With the music flying through my ears, I would imagine many a creative scene that made me feel like I was in many fascinating worlds at the same time.
So today, I uttered a silent thank you to my soul which in it’s wisdom had put down staring at the stars as my one small act of joy to gift myself. As I danced silently in my pj’s and soft, fluffy pink slippers in the silent night under the sky, I watched a sea of stars float out from underneath the clouds as they moved. The sky was lit up with the sparkling stars and it felt as though they had moved into my sight, just to say they had seen and heard me, welcoming me back into their company. The sight felt so beautiful……like old friends….saying hello ever so joyfully.. with no time having passed… kindred spirits….the romance of everyday life……💕💕💕
