Can you imagine the beauty of a city at night? The colours that swim in the blue glass windows of skyscrapers? The asphalt roads, twisting their way around the city like an obsidian snake? Then, there are cars and bikes and people, all gathered and moving together, their life and laughter echoing like a heartbeat. If you are lucky enough to view this sight from an elevated position, you may feel, if only for a second, like a god. Because we have created our cities to mirror the night sky, because we have made our own stars and moon, we need no reason to look above to see the beauty that the darkness of nighttime brings. The stars can rest in their beds, knowing that their job of watching over us has been taken over by glowing, yellow city lights.
The human mind is a strange and beautiful star. In its rays of light, it hides the joy of intricate imaginations. The mind is the veil that separates us from all the other inhabitants of this planet. The mind makes us different. It is not strange, then, to wish to nurture the minds of our children. In fact, it is more than important to help them to keep their minds healthy and safe, just like we protect their physical being.
