Lunar Serenade
Moon meeting the North Star
Ever since I embraced spirituality and began to live more slowly, I have had a thing for astrology and anything connected to it. For some reason, whenever I would gaze up at the night sky, I could not help but fantasize about sharing this experience with a loved one.
What I mean by "spirituality" here is not that I have to dress like a nun. Not at all. This means that, even though I live in a materialistic world, I have grown closer to God.
It was Thursday evening, and it was approximately 6:53 p.m. My passion for photography, particularly images with a cosmic theme, kept me from getting out for my evening stroll until much later than usual. The moon and north star were in perfect alignment, and I insisted on taking pictures of the phenomenon, even though my mom made funny faces and called me, as usual.
This happens frequently; however, I was only on Medium to pen down my thoughts in October 2023 and could not make connections even when I took a plethora of them.
Since I am a writer, this alignment never fails to make me happy, and it occupies a lot of my thoughts. In an endless loop, my imagination conjures up every conceivable scenario imaginable.
Contrary to actual humans, who kill spiders for no apparent reason, I am like a spider weaving my web—one that never ends and never gets destroyed.
As my hair fluttered and my body tingled, the air whipped past like a glass of fine red wine. My temperature dropped and my expression shifted subtly for an instant. While strolling along and chatting with my friend, I came across a charming puppy, a skinny but perfectly formed little animal, racing to get a drink of water.
My mom told me not to touch it, even though I wanted to. There are germs in it, so it could make you sick. She made a valid point, but the love I felt for the puppy made me continue looking at it anyhow. As I strolled on, I probably glanced back at it one final time before continuing to walk and taking a couple more rounds while still talking on the phone.
To me, this alignment evokes the image of an unrequited lover gazing at his beloved. The moon is that lover and the north star—an elusive spot. From a different perspective, the moon symbolizes my identity, and the north star represents my aspirations. With each passing moment, this harmony signifies that the relentless pursuit of my goals is bringing me one step closer to realizing my dreams.
Just as the water reflects the stars and the moon, the body reflects the mind and soul ~ Rumi
I returned home in an instant, having gathered all my memories and left behind trails that I could one day follow to discover my final destination.
