✨April 20th, 2023 - Thursday Thought✨
Good Morning Mystics!
I have always loved the night. There's something so captivating about the night sky, filled with stars and the moon. I'll stand on my back deck, looking up, searching for Orion and other constellations while moon bathing, if the moon is out. Sometimes I'll just go out and stare at the moon. It has this trance-like effect on me and so many others. It might have something to do with my sun sign being Cancer which is ruled by the moon.

Okay, maybe I lied a little bit—I didn't always love one aspect of the night. And that's the silence of bed time. When you're meant to go to sleep and then wake the next day. As someone who has had their struggles with anxiety, night time meant my thoughts went rampant with many worries. I'd plan, think about my day, and it seemed like I couldn't get a break. And this card speaks to that, deeply.
✨
During my journey, it's my mind that I've been working on the most. Learning to work with it instead of fight it. Not silence it, either, but allow. I've been slowly entering a state of awareness where I can let my thoughts pass through me like clouds. I don't attach to them, and in finding this place, I've come to enjoy the silence of night. A deep shift has occurred.
✨
There was a time when I couldn't sleep without a diffuser because of the soft noise it made. It broke the silence like a white noise machine and allowed me to focus on it instead of my thoughts. I'd put essential oils in it to help, too. Then one day, I stopped using the diffuser and found comfort in the silence.
✨
And soon enough I began to notice I was the most aware at night and the most creative, too. Ideas would come out of what felt like nowhere, and I'd write them down immediately (learned my lesson when I didn't one time!). Below is a poem I wrote one night, inspired by my progress and time to myself that I hadn't been able to have during the day.
✨I figured out why I love the night
It's not just the quiet of
Everyone asleep
It's being alone with myself
My thoughts
My feelings
And getting a chance to breathe✨
