Beings of the night, beings of the day

You are spamming Aurora. I have unfollowed and reported you. Responder

Urban people like me do not experience the full darkness of night, our street lit lights hide the magical universe from us. When we look up at the sky we see only a handful of the stars that congregate in the Milky Way. Digital technology has taught us to live in an always-on world - where we do not follow the motions of night or day or work through the night and adjust to sleeping through the day. There is always something on that commands our attention but we command so much attention that we often don't see what is important - we are more prone to focus on what is urgent, or deemed urgent. It is good you have mentioned the efforts of night workers who keep the finely tuned logistics machine operating, who magically stock our supermarkets during the night or repair infrastructure we barely appreciate and only complain about vehemently when that infrastructure fails. There is a lot of learned helplessness in the world of urban people, quite different from the self-sufficiency a few in the rural communities still understand, especially if their connection remains with the land. That is the ultimate discovery of being - which is one of absolute appreciation, to look up and see the wonders that spin, and the across at the wonders that flow and on the ground under us at the wonders that grow. In attention laden world all that magnificence is largely lost to us - which brings us to the meaning of being, which is what you have captured in your buzz. You are a part of the few that appreciate this and appreciate those who serve the many, at least you are conscious that someone somewhere is doing something that if they did not, only then we would feel the difference, unless of course difference is what we appreciate. So Neto welcome to beBee and I look forward to reading more of your buzzes to come ! Responder
