Fifth Month Darkness

The evening burns with the afterglow of day as the fifth month darkness closes like a curtain call and we sit in folding chairs gazing at the theatre in the sky.

We watch the stars appear. They are longing for connection, illuminating what is held inside.

As their light trickles through our heads we feel the friendship of ancient souls.

Darkness pulls the strings that trail beneath your heart.

The vastness gives permission to the deepest yearnings lurking at the frontier of healing and desire.

Will you bend your mind to attend to your fingers as they quietly stroke the tempered glass?

Do you see the patterns reflected back at you? Are you distracted by events and complicated questions that beg for answers only listening can solve?

Be present in your life. Our minds are replaced by a semblance of ourselves.

We are magnified in multiples, imprisoned by our wants. Overwhelmed by numbers, we seek freedom from the noise.

The deepest connection on this edge of totality is found behind our veil of differences.
