The author had a vision of people walking in the dark with dark sunglasses, representing those who are lost and unaware. These people could benefit from doing some "fact checking" on important questions about who they are, how to love others, the truth about religions, and how to find positivity and calmness. However, most people are too busy and not curious enough to look beyond the surface level. Their minds are like "nitestalkers" that only see what is immediately in front of them. To reach these closed-off people and help their dry, closed minds and hearts flourish requires nurturing them with love and truth, as a desert needs water.

1. God’s NiteStalker
April 25, 2010
As I was doing my early, dark morning walk up and
down the hills of this Olympic Mountain town on the
Puget Sound listening to the nightingales chirp their
mating calls, a chilling thought occurred. In my
imagination I saw infinite people of all ages and types
walking around me, but with dark sunglasses on! What could it mean that people were
walking in the dark with black sunglasses?
Then it dawned on me that they represented most of the people occupying earth at this
time. Lost Souls not even having a clue had they done some ʻfact checkingʼ that they
could enjoy the subtleties of what the naked, aware eye could only see. ʻFact checkingʼ
would include things like a) knowing who you really are b) finding out how to love
another as much as you could imagine c) whatʼs the research data on
anything to do with religions, myth vs fact d) how to create
positivity and calmness in oneself? These are a few of the
questions that people with dark glasses seem to have a
hidden curiosity about, but still refuse to look at facts and
truth with the naked eye. Itʼs always, ʻIʼm too busyʼ!
My experience from logging towns to Wall St., to dance
clubs to spiritual gatherings, to the humans with the dark
glasses on the street, is that almost ʻno one is homeʼ! Few
are curious for more than an occasional glance at what
are the most important things in life. The ʻfountain of
youthʼ is inside to be found for embracing, and
encompasses the secrets of life, and what is possible
beyond ʻgrumbling and needing more moneyʼ. Few allow
the expression of that possibility being attached to
chasing outer dreams with little regard for inner
possibilities.
The mind is a ʻnitestalkerʼ trudging along myopically with ʻtunnel visionʼ for the
immediate, convenient satisfaction while being blinded to the nourishment of the soul
with ʻsoul foodʼ that comes hidden in the form of self love and itʼs infinite benefits. To
reach the mind and heart of this ʻclosed beingʼ is like looking for gold in the Sahara
Desert. For a desert to flourish with life, nurturing water is needed. So it is with the dry
closed mind and heart. To flourish, they both need to be nurtured to reveal love and
truth. Walking into life with the heart and mind open creates an enduring bliss not seen
by the preoccupied mind and the unattended heart.
