The sky looks spectacular tonight.

when I look at you and smile

‘I adore the night

everything looks beautiful and bright

you are my universe, my hope and my biggest passion.’

I wrote this last night, when the sky was beyond me and closer to dark tempest clouds.

There is no comfort from the sky like those times, when the night is slowly covered in a dark blanket and littered with twinkling stars.  Night is a time of reflection. It’s private liberation, when I can own the world around me, in solitary comfort. Thoughts, feelings, walks, dreams, love, slowness, time, quiet, books, seasons – all these things, which are not really things, but moments of life – take on a different meaning at night-time, where the moon emerges from the diminishing light of the sun, and we have time to reflect what life is to us, knowing that it passes, and that every bit of it, in its change and its difference, is the here and now of what we have.

Some nights, I remember my stays in my little hometown of Kerala-the southern state of my beautiful country, India. The sky looks dazzling and mostly you are treated to the perfect dance of a million twinkling stars.

To me the night is very deep and the moon is magic.

Life is too short to be all daylight. Night is not less; it’s more.

(Thank-you for reading this article!)

My passion is writing. Everything I write about is geared toward things that I deeply cares about—experiences, thoughts, drama, and emotions. A full-time mom to two handsome boys—11 and 4—I built a career around insurance underwriting and later, teaching of English literature and language in high school, before vanishing into full-time mommy responsibilities. I believe that life is not meant to be serious all of the time, and that we should have fun as much as we can. Besides writing, I enjoy watching spy network series and living it up by creating laugh memes with my two lovely young boys!
