The time was exactly 6:50 p.m. this evening when I had a head on on collision with the most beautiful Midnight Blue Sky over Texas. I call it luck! I parked my car as quickly as I could and grabby my trusty camera to show you what I'm talking about.
I stood there in the parking lot on Flower Mound Road or 3040 near Gerault and I felt as if I had been looking up at the deep blue sea but it was the sky looking down at me. I am driven to write about this Midnight Blue Sky over Texas because it was an intimate moment with nature that for me alone was unbelievable.
This is only a small snapshot but you can't imagine how small I felt as I circled around and everything up in the sky was deep blue and there was a calmness unlike anything I have felt in a very long time. The night sky filled my heart with peace and tranquility that made me feel at least nine feet tall. For about ten minutes I lost all sense of my tiny self and I was swept into the wondrous infinity of the sky up above and in that moment my heart was bursting with joy! I am not accustomed to looking up at a Midnight Blue Sky over Texas - I am programmed to watch for sunrises and beautiful sunsets. This one caught me off guard and I could almost feel the pine tree branches pointing up to the sky in fervent prayer and adoration. Together, we were one.
The moon was bigger than life, unlike what you see in the photos above because of my camera lens; yet the silver lining was around the moon and I think you can see and hopefully feel that same magestic feeling - oh how I wish I wasn't alone and that you, or you, or you or you could have been there to bear witness to that Midnight Blue Sky with me.
I am in the comfort of my home now and yet, there is a mist behind my eyes searching for the deep blue sky, the Midnight Blue Sky over Texas - but the sky is now black. I close my eyes, I stare at my photographs and I see it all over again. I am grateful for the wonderous gift of memory and the gifts we receive through nature. The immensity of the Midnight Blue Sky over Texas is overwhelming. I am deeply moved and my feelings have shot upwards into a new heightened awareness. The truest form of art comes through nature and it was created by the Master Himself.
