Yesterday evening

I drove down a long straight road with open plains on either side. The dark shrubs and waist high grass were dancing in the wind against the wide canvas of the sky. Unobstructed by buildings, it was a vibrant battleground of colours that bled and blended into each other. Not one of those soft, gentle and peaceful sunsets. Yet, it was peaceful. And violent and mysterious all at the same time.

The roads dipped rather steeply down a hill. From the top, you can see the blocks of a commercial square, a sprawling hypermart and endless cars moving along the roads down below. I followed the long straight back down into the encompassing embrace of warm electric lights and civilisation. Leaving behind an unknowning presence and that plain where the mysteries of the universe were slowly playing out.
