Breaking waters and a Milky Way

It was pure fantasy; perhaps there are no words that could explain how I felt at that moment. ‘Magnificent’ might not be enough to describe what I saw. For the 26 years I have lived, never seen such a pretty pattern in the sky. I have stargazed almost all my life, but I have never been to such dark places to see the sky in full delight. It is the Milky Way that spreads across the sky all over my head, the whole end-to-end like a cat spilled a glass of milk all over. I have never seen such a big thing in the sky before, not just with my own eyes.

I think the dramatic mood was set by the roaring waves of the Indian Ocean. Just the sounds of water hitting itself on the shore, pitch dark all around; what you could see was only straight above your head, and that is something that you cannot see all day when you live in a town. A pure naked beauty of nature, I saw many things in it, perhaps like a lover who finds a lot of interesting things in the eyes of their partner. The magnificent shape and size of it made me realize things I have always wondered about, that is how small we are in the vastness of the universe, but at the same time it made me wonder that perhaps it could have created us just to see the sheer beauty of itself, like a pretty dress a girl wear so her man could see how beautiful she is… or something like that. After all, she is pure beauty, and I am her man admiring all the time; now, like one of the dresses, this time the Milky Way, next time something else. That is one of the beauties of her; you can admire anything and everything.

At the moment when I feel all those things, I thought I should write this down because it is something new for me.

I have never been on a road trip before or gotten together with friends offsite. Special because I have never been to the beach at that hour. So all the feelings were something new, new as you learn to speak the first word out of your mind or learn to understand the meaning of a new word. It was quite new. The whole experience was something that cannot be just good!

I should do more endeavors like this more often and write about how I feel about all of them.
