It was a crisp night with clear sky when the full moon shone down, white against a nearly jet black sky, with Jupiter shining a little way to the right.
The air was cold in a good way, as the night felt clear. I passed the dark park, where trees rose out of the ground surrounded by the silence of night, and silhouetted. Dark too, were nearby streets, weaving their way between others lit with city lampposts; mingling themselves.
I walked this tapestry of beauty home, enjoying the feel of the night air, and watching the moon and Jupiter with each corner that I turned.
Sometimes, it’s nice to be out walking the city at night when no one else seems to be about. Meandering this way and that. On this evening I emerged, from dark park-lined roads, onto a main street. The empty, silent, dark night, with silhouetted trees, had wended it’s way towards a street bright with bars and takeaways, with people out doing things.
And then, that too slowly disappeared, as I moved on to other streets where city lamps were few between.
The moon shone down through tree branches keeping me company, and cosy lamplit windows of homes that hadn’t pulled their curtains yet whispered, it’s warm in here. And then up the last road, trees swaying a little, moon still shining through branches and, absolute silence, as I turned up the garden path. Wet and dry leaves shining in the moonlight, softly scrunching my way to the front door. I turned, and stared at that moon. For quite a while. And then, took myself inside to the warmth of a lamplit window, whose curtains were not yet drawn.
My plan
I have a plan for my next book, it will be called Feel Well with Ayurveda—21-Day Challenge. This will be a simple book with a journal. I’ll share how to put into place the three main things that can create the foundation of any Ayurvedic healthcare plan. The book will offer a clear way of learning about these things that is built around a 21-day challenge. I’m going to start serialising this after xmas for my paying subscribers, and once it’s finished I will publish for everyone else. I’m quite excited about this because yesterday I sketched out the whole book. Between now and January I will be looking at the latest research into certain areas I am going to cover.

And then the morning arrived. Up before the dark had disappeared I was. I watched the sun rise on this new day, with one bird flying through the dawn sky, and I wondered. I wondered what are you doing. And I thought, perhaps you will share your joy dots in the comments with me, from the part of the planet where you find yourself. I’d love to hear.
Warmest wishes,

Beautiful thank you. I’ve watched the full moon both evening and morning these past 3 days and it’s been amazing. Special to see anytime from this tiny bit of sky but to see night time then when opening curtains at the front of the house to see morning moon shining down.
