Oh, I like this!
Thank you!
I really like this Jane.
Love. It makes the night sky so inviting.
Pat
Thanks Pat. I used to dread the night when we lived in the city, the noise that never stopped, just calmed except for the party crowd, the drunks, and they made sleep very difficult. The sky was just an orange-tinted backdrop to irritation.
Now it sounds like you’re in a peaceful spot where the noise is mostly from nature. I hear partying once in a while in the summer. Otherwise it quiet.
I couldn’t stand the noise now. I used to be up half the night pacing about, shouting out the window, phoning the police just to let off steam. Not a recipe for a peaceful night.
That was really bad. No, no peace to be had there! Thank goodness I don’t have that ( knock on wood). There seem to be some unspoken rule in my neighborhood….All noise cease by 1am. The merry making tend to start about 6ish. So that works.
I’d be dead or have murdered someone before 1am…
Around here, 1am is good. in other areas they go till dawn!!! Then, I would be loosing my mind. Hey! City living!!😊
It was supposed to be 2am in Bordeaux but that just meant when the bars closed. Anyone who has been drinking in a bar until 2am does not go home quietly! Yep, dawn would find some of them still out there 🙂
Ha Ha! That’s funny.. and you’re right. There’s NO quiet left in them at that point. Here’s to quieter times 😄
Well, we’ve got them now. Like it or not 🙂
So true! The universe / nature has a way of working things out for us😊. Well, you gave me a chuckle this morning. Thank you.
I’m glad 😉 Husband was just saying how blissful it would be where we lived now, and how we’d probably be suicidal when it all started up again!
The streets are empty. The stores are really all closed! Except for supermarkets and drug stores. It’s a quiet time alright. But I agree that once it’s eased the crowd will return with a vengeance!!! And you’d probably go nuts!!😊
We lived two doors from an open air restaurant/Afro Jazz club. The patrons used to bring their kids and dump them in the street to amuse themselves, tearing up the plants planted along the pavement, throwing rubbish and cans at one another, empty beer bottles, racing up and down, painting on the walls…until they feel asleep in the small hours of the morning. Sheer HELL!
I could see how that would be hell. Wow….that was bad! Well, you’re away from it now 😊
Thank goodness!

Like the blankets folk might lie upon outside in order to look up.
Yours is its own, wonderful look at the night sky.
Thank you. It’s funny that we think of there being two skies, one for the day that we cast judgement upon, and one for the night that we more or less ignore.
They do seem like two different skies. At night we see the inside.
Yes, the inside with all its stars showing.
Lovely Jane.. x
Thanks Sally 🙂
A very revealing piece
Thank you. I’m pleased you think so.
I like this uplifting tone.
Thanks Ken 🙂
Thank you for the uplifting, within it, Jane!
I’m pleased you like it 🙂
Oh yes, Jane! Brought positivity in the time. Thank you!
🙂
:-))
“cloud-broidered…” What a fabulous image you’ve created for me. I love this, Jane. ❤
I’m glad you like it, Colleen 🙂 I wrote a whole sequence of gogyohka on the theme of ‘sky’ before I remembered the theme was actually ‘night sky’….
