    The midnight sky is pitch black with only a slight gleam of light emanating from the moon. The night is so silent that even a pin drop could be heard from miles away. No one is stirring and the world has drifted off into a deep sleep. The night seems blissfully peaceful. But the silence is torn by the sound of rustling leaves in the distance.

The environment was calm and peaceful as I was walking through the forest area. I thought about how different the trail was than walking in a public place such as a mall or a school hallway in between periods. It was nice to be away from things made by humans and to only be around things from nature. As I was walking

    White, that’s what I notice when I opened my eyes. I searched the area around myself, and the only item I can observe is just a white area. There were no people, buildings, plants, or animals; just a blank canvas world. At first, I didn’t know what to do, until I started to call out to hear if someone is here. I called out three times, and the only sound I can hear is my voice echoing. I devote myself to staying where I am, so someone comes by or walk to search any living being. I decided to walk

    “The moon is at her full, and riding high, floods the calm fields with light. The airs that hover in the summer sky, are all asleep tonight,” (William C Bryant). The moon is a symbol quite often used by several artists, as it has a serene yet powerful effect on human emotions, and the human soul. Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, is very beautiful and rides in her chariot, pulling the moon across the night sky, and falling in love with the shepherd Endymion ().

Learning about it was very interesting, and I now know it is a very complicated process. It is amazing that so many things happen in order for me to have sight, and
