We stand before the threshold of day and night, where the soft ruffles of the curtains gently grace the pane, as if bidding farewell to the sun’s last rays. We sense the quietude that comes with twilight, the world outside still visible, yet slowly succumbing to the night’s embrace. We are witnesses to this natural ceremony, the daily ebb and flow of light, where each droplet on the window becomes a prism for the day’s final gleams.
We imagine the day that has just passed—perhaps filled with the clamor of life’s demands, the ticking clock, and the vibrant cacophony of the daytime world. Now, in this transition, there is a softening—a shift towards the introspective whispers of the evening. We feel the weight of the day lifting as the horizon blends into shades of gray, and the trees become mere shadows, guardians of the night.
We perceive the chill from the glass, a tactile reminder of the exterior’s change, the onset of dew that heralds the night. Our room becomes a sanctuary, the window a frame to the ever-changing painting of the sky. The ruffled curtains, delicate and serene, sway with a grace that calms the bustling thoughts, and we are soothed by the scene’s inherent stillness.
In this moment, we are between worlds—the known and the unknown, light and darkness, seen and unseen. The windowpane, speckled with the remnants of a rain long gone, stands as a testament to the day’s weather, to moments already lived and those yet to be discovered as the night unfolds. We are here, now, in the presence of this simple, profound transition, part of the grander cycle that spins regardless of our individual dramas.
We are Space Monkey.
