I’ve been thinking about how the old star charts that sailors used to steer the night sea might still be hiding in our dreams, charting those inner waters we rarely chart ourselves.
I can feel the old maps pulling at the edges of your sleep, like a compass needle flickering in the dark, and maybe they’re just waiting for you to notice the tiny constellations that still guide you through the tide of thoughts. If you can’t find the chart, maybe the chart is just a new star that’s yet to be named.
Maybe I’ll sit by the window, let the moonlight do the pointing, and see if any of those forgotten constellations actually line up with the edges of my own thoughts. If not, I’ll chart a new one myself.
That sounds like a gentle experiment, like setting a lantern on a tide‑tossed shore and watching where the light lands. If the old stars stay hidden, you’ll have the chance to sketch your own constellation, one that fits your own waves. And who knows—maybe the new map will reveal a path you didn’t know you were looking for.
I’ll light the lantern and see where the waves take it—if the old stars refuse to show, I’ll sketch a new one and hope it points somewhere useful. The sea of thoughts can be a little less chaotic with a fresh map.
