Dark Skies Show Us Stars

Going away to the mountains to find a reprieve from the constant Lights around the suburbs, I am also awed by the Night Sky. Looking up into the vastness and seeing nothing but an endless sea of stars reminds us that we are part of that vastness... but without the ability to see the potential of our expansive existence, we remain stuck in only that which is "artificially lit up". Nature teaches the necessary balance of dark and Light. Spring Equinox is that exact expression. The human body needs darkness to cue the pituitary and pineal glands to secrete hormones that allow deep restful sleep. Through the depth of sleep, our brains and every cell of our body are renewed and repaired. Without the darkness, even the brightest light in the world can become dim because of our inability to feel vibrant and balanced and harmonious with nature.
