every night i spend at least 10 minutes standing on my balcony looking out over the water, grass below me and the sky above me. i never step outside with a purpose or a train of thought, its like i am stepping into a blank slate and i breathe deeply and let out whatever i have been holding inside.
tonight the sky was speckled with dense clouds. stars peeked through but were quickly hidden again. i wondered if any of my prayers or worries and thoughts could ever filter up through the maze and make it into the universe where i really needed them to be.
i listened to the life quieting down around me. students coming home, people taking out the trash as their last chore of the night. a baby giggling and then crying as it's mother finally pulled him/her away from splashing in the water.
a night like any other night, yet unique it is own way and never to be exactly the same again. i wonder if my prayers are lost in the clouds to be silenced tonight, or will they break free for the messages to blanket the world around me.
