from my journal... written by candlelight on the stoop outside my room...
I know that some people feel overwhelmed by such a full sky of stars. Truly, it is not something we see often in the US. Some would say such an expanse makes them feel small, inconsequential. I am not one of those people. The night sky comforts me, somehow reminding me that I am not alone in this gigantic universe. These days, darkness often brings loneliness, and I fear the onslaught of my dreams. But stars, or the moon, when it shines - they provide solace and comfort, even as I long for the presence of those that I love most dearly.
Sometimes, I contemplate bringing a matt out here and sleeping under the stars. I wonder if I could rig my mosquito net among the bananas?
