The song of the night

It seems we’ve always had good reason to be afraid of the dark. Now, though, the kind of nocturnal predators we face are ne’re-do-wells with intent to assault us, as opposed to lions and tigers and bears (oh my). We do risk it still, don’t we? We go out into the night in spite of the dangers, because of the song that calls us out. When the crickets sing, and the unseen leaves blow in the breeze we go. The song of the moon and the stars that we hear in our souls brings us out of our homes. We desire so much to see the stars, to feel the cool relief of the night and to connect with the darkness. For some of us it’s the fear alone that draws us into the darkness. We love the thrill of the terror. For others it’s the beauty of the star studded sky and the white moon. For me, and for many others, the night is a time to connect with the goddess and to work with her.
