#bloganuary promp: How you feel when you look at the stars?

Todays prompt is something else to me. Have never intentionally sat down and looked up to watch the sky in the night. But today I was playing with my thought what feeling one could have looking laying down in an open space to just watch the stars in the sky. While going on with my thoughts I remember ….

 

One day when I was in primary school I woke up early to prepare for school. In the country side we had to be at school early before the teacher to clean the compound and classes and start the preps. That specific morning, the brightness of the moon was so bright in my room that I thought we were late for school. I woke my cousins and we got ready for school. We didn’t have watches or something to tell what time it was. We listened to the grandma cock to crow or the bird by the tree to start making noise for us to know what time it was. This morning non of us noticed that we didn’t hear the cock crow and the birds were quiet even though one or two were maybe having insomnia that morning. So we got up and head to school just to find the watchman there asking us where we are going so early. It was just few minutes past 4am. We were the only students in the compound. The guard was kind enough to open one class for us to stay in and sleep until 6 am when the rest of the students come.

 

Today walking out and looking at the sky changed my mood. I felt a way I wasn’t in the afternoon. I even told my friends about the days prompt and they too agreed they have never taken time just to observe the stars and tell the feeling and what goes on within them.

 

This prompt just pulls everything out. In life we are single being in a wide dark sky. As the quote says,”Stars shines bright in the darkest night” just paragraphing since I don’t remember exact words. Life can really give us humble time, but in those moments we are all called to remain stars. Shine and keep shinning. Not all stars are visible in the dark but for sure, their light is there in there own ways. Just that thought made me smile.

Again I thought, as much as we are single as a star, we shine bright in a group of stars. We all need each other to make the dark part of life vanish and if it cannot vanish completely, it will still be overpowered by the little light each star gives.
