Serene Magic

It's been a strange evening. I had a meeting that went on and on and on although it was to be expected I guess, we are after all only 6 days away from the biggest day of our year and the culmination of 9 months of work. But that's not what this post is about, it's about something totally different. It's actually about 2 things really, this sudden sense of peace I have, this feeling that everything is going to be ok and about about how amazingly beautiful mother nature can be.

Driving home from the meeting this evening, the roads where deserted for a change. Jhb's infamous road works even seemed to have taken a night off which left me to stare out the window while my brother did the driving. A glance heavenward revealed the most amazing moon , it was clear and visible like I haven't seen in ages with just one pin prick star for company.

My first thought wasn't funnily enough of how beautiful it was, actually no I think the word would be serene or even magical but rather of someone I knew who would appreciate it probably more than I did. My second thought was I really wish I had a camera right now. Sadly there was no camera so there is no pic :( and by the time I got home and got the camera, the whole picture had changed and the magic seemed lost which was actually quite sad really because it's a moment I'll never capture again.

The second thing that struck me this evening was as I said this sense of peace and a feeling that everything is going to be ok. I don't know if it's related to the moon and the serenity it seemed to have or if it's totally unrelated but it definetly is nice to feel this way for a change. ............ I hope it lasts
