Your shroud appears from cover rising
The promise of night so tantalising
In the grip of madness paralysed
Venus and Jupiter both recognised

Silver hole, a mirror reflecting
The gods of day on earth inspecting
The sins of man in darkened hours
Drew a panoply of meteor showers

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to see the beautiful glowing full moon last night and a bright Venus shining close by. And then a clear sunny morning today bringing some lightness to everything.

There was a beautiful haloed moon last night, and some misty atmospheric conditions allowed the bright silver disc to shine with a massive aura, dissipating into the thick black sky. Off to the left and closer to the horizon, Venus stood out as a single point on an unseen graph. No stars visible straight above, just a single beacon further on the opposite horizon over the mountains. A fine temperature too, though still somewhat humid indoors.

I slept early and remember interesting dreams, now of only vague specifics.

Another sweet coffee and football morning has me inspired, though this afternoon we’ll finish off watching Versailles, which has gotten me a little more interested in European history.

Amy is talking in big dreams of the future, and where we might relocate in Australia and her ideas of a Thai restaurant. I will follow her dreams happily as I have few dreams left of my own – satisfied I am with everything I’ve done.
