Gazing at the stars

When we look up at the starry night sky, what do we see? Is it the the moon, stars, the constellations, the plants? Or is it something beyond? When I look up to the stars I do not see the constellations but other galaxies, other worlds different from ours. There is so much out there we do not know about. It is just like looking at ourselves from a far. All the experiences that we have had are lights in the dark just as the stars dot the sky. The dark of night is those things that we either do not wish to face or do not know we have them to have to face.
Why do we fear this things? The dark with in? we have been taught though society to be 90% negative. So anything that is not proper to society is something to be feared. As children we are taught that there are monsters in the dark of night, and to be careful what lurks where we can not see. When we become adults this fear of the dark night sticks with us. This is in both the physical and mental stats. Look in to the dark, what do we see? The dark is all those fears we have made for ourselves over our live time. They hold us back and hold us down; not allowing us to move on in our journey to find truth in our life.
Step out in to the night, face the darkness with in, and see the strength we have had all along! I see the stars and smile knowing that each day I see more and more. The night is a happy and calm place to look and see there is more then just us. The night reminds us to never fear the unknown, because the unknown is all around us. The only thing to fear is fear itself!
