💫 On stars and signs

Quiet, beautiful dark mornings.

I woke up early this morning, as is my routine but this morning, my heart and spirit drew me outside. Still in my pajamas, I sat on the cool concrete outside of the garage. Legs folded, I looked up. The rooster called and our dog barked. Other than that… silence, darkness. I was alone, but unafraid, I'm quite at home in the darkness and silence. I'm at peace in nature.

I simply gazed at the blue black sky and the thousands of stars over my head. I suspected the 2 brightest “stars” that I saw above me were actually planets and I was right… the larger star was Jupiter, the smaller red “star” was Mars.

I inhaled the clean, fresh air, drank it like a glass of water, refreshing my spirit, cleansing my heart. Leisurely, I tracked the satellite I saw floating across the horizon, and then out of the corner of my eye, I saw something fast fly across the sky. It was bright and fast, leaving an unmistakable line across the sky, a comet. I mean this thing was booking it, dropping towards some unknown destination, likely to burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.

I almost stood up in my excitement and a childish grin drew across my face. I felt like this moment was a gift, a sign, a blessing. Before I could push the thought aside, I saw another comet fly across the sky. Confirmation. I saw what I saw, I knew what I knew. And may it be so.

After years of toil, planting, hard work, anxiety, courage, faith and fear, my harvest season has arrived. Indeed, may it be so.

Have a blessed day my friends 💛💫🌟
