observation 309.24.11

So many days have passed. Each one different, but each one very similar in its sameness.

The full moon always lifts my face up with a soft "look at me." I'm not alone. That comforts me and crushes me at the same time. That is the true essence of existence, I'm feeling this as an answer. It's like the stars in the constellations. To the eye, they appear to be aligned right next to each other. But in relation to each other, in reality, they are glowing light years apart.

From the most I can tell, the numbers most frequent must be the numbers most important.

12:12, 3:33 and 5:55. In daylight or in darkness, they pull me away or awake.

It's something I just keep my eye and my mind on. It comforts me and warms my heart so that I can't help myself but smile. It feels like a warm hand on my face, and it usually is. And I've made the connection that when I ask a certain question of myself from within, and then answer it with truth in my heart, I usually look up and it's confirmed for me with a 4:44.

Again I smile, reassured with calm uncertainty.

Yes, it's 4:44 again. And no, I can't help but love you for that.
