When the sky is clear and the weather is calm, it’s interesting to notice how serene the night is. It seems like there is a gentle stillness to it. And then, the crickets sing their hymn, the bats fly over, and shooting stars appear in the sky. You realize, everything is in perpetual motion, and there is a clear and peaceful harmony that becomes apparent.
It’s interesting to note the stillness of the night. That is, how little there is going on outside. Most things have gone to sleep or are hiding. And they are hiding because night is when vicious and perceptive predators appear.
You would almost think it would be the reverse. Where the day is more dangerous and all chaos breaks free, because there is fewer place to hide, and everything is awake. But rather it seems at least people have a greater fear of the night, and with good reason. Human adversaries tend to be active in the night too, along with wild predators to hunt their own prey.
And yet, at the same time, there is still this gentle stillness, harmony, and beauty to be found.
Esoteric Image:
The Moon is glowing in the background. A man is standing wearing a dark grey cloak and he is looking forwards with a calm and still look on his face, having a slight smile or being straight-faced. He is about to be torn to shreds from both sides by two fierce adversaries. A wild beast on the left, a thief or murderer on the right.
