mind whisperings, my oh my.

(posted on Thursday, November 26 by eii wyy nae.)

sometimes i don't have a whole lot to say. silent as a starfish. yet reaching out, linking arms, seeking connection. peacefully aware that, in this deep sea of quietness, i’m still a part of a larger constellation. while most living beings seek out and thrive in the light, i think there is much to be said for the darkness too.

there would be no wishing on the afterglow of falling stars & no tracing satellites as they glide across the sky. the ooh's & ahh's of meteor showers would be silenced. aurora borealis would shy away, feeling as though her true colours were unnoticed. the man in the moon would be lonely indeed.

ghost stories around a campfire would lose their fright. & trick or treating would not be the same on a sunny summer evening. the spooky atmosphere, with moonlit bare branches & flying broomstick sightings would be lost. jack o lanterns would have no personality & would turn into mere carved pumpkins that even cinderella would disapprove of. i’m no vampire, no nightcrawler, no nocturnal creature of the night but i celebrate the darkness, for it has its mysterious charms.

the sky let out a heavy cry this weekend ... a much needed release. & if it wasn't for the darkness that the clouds cast over the forest, i just might have missed the enchantment waiting for me there. the scene was mystical ... a dim forest thick with rain & fog. but little beings were glowing all around me. tiny, tiny winged creatures, a luminescent white, fluttering around me like snowflakes caught in a current, reluctant to land. i stopped & tried very hard to get a closer look at one as it hovered alongside me, but it was so small & sporadic in its movement. not all of them were airborne so i peered onto a fern leaf where several had landed & discovered that they were wee little moths, in the shape of perfect hearts ... no bigger than a button hole.

it's no wonder that i also happened upon this little heart a few months ago in the bark of a tree in the very same forest. it wasn't a man made heart, it only looked like a heart if you were looking at it from the right angle but it too was tiny. perhaps it was carved out by some rather curious little fireflies of the rain forest.
