Twilight Night.™

We turned around the bend at Keppel Bay and I saw a perspective I immediately felt for. I knew I had to try to get that shot. The colour of the sky was lit with the generous compound lights.
A hybrid of rich purple from the blue of the night and the threatening tinge of red of rain. And I saw stars. One that shone so bright it was hard to not notice nor resist.

I did something really cheesy. Something I don't normally do. I closed my eyes and made a wish. Yeah, a wish, upon that very star. And then I prayed. For many good things that will come, upon my family and friends and myself. I don't remember where or how I found the strength to close my eyes and just hear my very own breathing and thoughts. I know it sounds silly, but it was actually a very surreal moment for me as I recalled. Something within tells you that you still have it in you to be optimistic and you questioned, where did all those years of hope and fighting spirit go to? I drew strength that night. In a very quiet and unassuming manner.

Something so beautiful about the night, I just stood there and gazed for quite a while. For the longest time, I actually heard myself speak inside me. I felt that inner peace, I keep hearing everyone talk about. It was sensual, it was calming, it was everything I have not felt for a while.

Not that I had any phenomenal epiphanies or anything like that from just standing there. But I do remember one very natural thing. The thought that came to my mind when I stood next to my tripod and camera. While taking the shot, I thought..."Yeah, I must bring R here."

Someone, just slap me.
