The Night flower & Her Moon - Journey of Beginnings

Snackdeal

First few hours were not so eventful. But it was better. It was calm. I went out straight to do what I love to do the most there. Watching sunset in the fields!!!

I like to sit on the dirt tracks of the fields and watch the sun going down behind the uneven rows of trees, changing its hue from burning yellow to calm orange and then soothing red then back to calmer orange to dull and to dullest. Birds flying back to their homes, crops dancing with breezes in slow motion, fading sunrays adoring them, not fully though half shadows half-light, the flock of birds passing the reddish hue of sun, farmers hurrying back to their homes. So chaotic yet so soothing. Wow!! Just wow!!

As I have told earlier, I am not a much of music lover. But, if these sunsets can be counted as music, then, trust me, no one is more of a big music lover than me. I have listened ocean's music too(online) and river's very calm music too. But nothing matches the amazing music made by swaying plants and trees with this sunset. Rhythms is so captivating, lyrics are always so new with each passing moment, very lively instruments, so many free VFS, the musicians themselves are the audience and the audience itself is the musician......... it's what I would call 'out of the world' because the time I dive in this mystical music, I find myself in a warm embrace out of this cold and brutal world. To others it's all like life starts excitingly with sunrises and slows down as the sun goes down. But, watching the sunset means more to me. A new phase starts with the courageous darkness stepping slowly with the sun gone!!!

✍ Sun is powerful. No doubt. It gives light and heat to a huge part of our galaxy. This is all taught to us mostly. But there is another side to the picture. Sun can be powerless too!! Yes, even a group of tiny dust particles, fog and clouds can make the almighty sun helpless. Evenings can force it to leave. The Moon can block its way. This is what's mostly missing in lessons of life. We are only taught about rising and rising high but nobody focuses on the other half part...... sunsets/downfalls ............ Downfalls before rising again!!!!"

We must keep it in mind. Powers aren't almighty. Sun will rise gracefully every morning, spreading the light courageously, challenging the darkness, beautifying the life. But in the end of the day, it has to face the courage of darkness and step down for many reasons. Firstly, to put chaos at rest. Secondly to let the earth cool down enough to face the hot rays again. Thirdly, to teach us that nothing is permanent, neither light nor darkness. There will be up and downs always. Because that's the basic need of improvisation. Each downfall makes us realize what we had lost and what we need to fight for. Permanency will never let us feel the need of improvisation. That's what sunsets are meant for. To learn the fact of being powerless too for keeping the life on actions always. To keep the hope of rising back high in downfalls. To keep flowing like rivers not rotting like motionless ponds.
