It was
a dark starry night. There is an awe and sense of fascination when you are lying
down and looking into all those galactic stars. It is not only with me, it is
with everybody, when you take a gander at the raving beauty of the star studded
sky you get attracted towards it, it draws you towards itself. It will make you
fall for it and you will just keep admiring the vastness and perplexity of the
night. There is a depth which goes to abyss, and you get involved in finding
that confounding deepness. It has a
sense of pacification and stillness that you are always seeking inside you. There
is infinitude of emotions which bring peace and calmness to soul. I was also
lying there on the ground, taking a shower of this darkness. The darkness was unparalleled.
I call it the beauty of darkness. It is mystifying, alluring, captivating, pensive
and mesmeric.
The delicacy
is in observance. You feel that you are evoking yourself out, there is an
exuberance of thoughts that are flowing all over the places near you, but it is
the darkness that sublimes them into itself. It not only sublimes them, it
gives rest to your thoughts and invites you to fuse in itself. It is so vast
and so profound that it gives requiescence to all your mental deliberations and
then after sometime all you see is just the dark sky and the stars in it. All the
noise in your head starts to fade off and then you hear the loudest sound of
all, the Silence. The silence of the darkness is captivating. You reach the stage of stillness. My thoughts were also
running berserk, there was a chaos, I don’t know what I was trying to find, but
there was something that my mind wanted to bring out. I wanted to bring it out
and give it to the darkness. I wanted the darkness to take it away from me,
ever and forever.
The darkness
also beholds you; it will take care of you in the times of loneliness. For ages
people have been attracted towards night sky, it is because they find it
pacificatory. No one can feel alone in the sky full of stars. You feel a mystic
presence near you, which talks to you and yet you are silent. The sense of
belongingness to them educes. I was also feeling them, there was no other
feeling. I was just looking at the sky, nothing more. I realized that beauty is
beyond the things we can see, it is in imaginations, it is in dreams, it is in
thoughts, and that day it was in the black.
