intoxicated
cosmos swirls in late night wine
staggering with stars
Kim M. Russell, 2017
My response to Carpe Diem #1324 carried away by the night
Today we have a quote Paulo Coelho’s novel Adultery:
“Let yourself get carried away by the night from time to time. Look up at the stars and try to get drunk on the sense of infinity. The night, with all its charms, is also a path to enlightenment. Just as a dark well has thirst-quenching water at its bottom, the night, whose mystery brings us closer to the mystery of God, has a flame capable of enkindling our soul hidden in its shadows.” (Source: Adultery by Paulo Coelho)
