Fear and Wonder of the Night

"Bright Comet Night" by Drew John Tankersley


Happy Sez-  The nights in our lives can be filled with many things - wonders and terror, romance and loneliness.  Sometimes it is the darkness of the night, and the unknown that lies in that darkness that gives a
sense of fear while also giving us  the ability to hide from that unknown fear.  Fear can be many things not only to many people but to each of us, it can not only be many things but it can be many things at many different times.  Even though the circumstances that cause that fear will vary from situation to situation (each situation effectively a frame of reference giving a perspective or reality)  the fear itself will be the same, a constant in each of those situations.  While you must deal with the particular circumstance of each situation you must also deal with the raw fear behind it. If it is a fearful night don't go out.  Go out for the beauty and joy of the night, go out for the humbleness that the Milky Way gives you when seen on a dark night far away for other humans, go out and look at the dark places in the sky that are so far away that you are looking back in time before the stars and galaxies were formed.  Go out for the wonders.
