Ohhh, what a beautiful story! It really touched me, especially as only recently I understood I have always been a bit afraid of the dark, though I love to look at the stars and dark wintery skies. Next time when I wake up and feel a bit of fear I try to remember Nox.

This is so beautiful! I think the night-blooming tulip had the extra magic you were looking for. It all came together perfectly!

This post brought tears to my eyes - Nox's mother has wise words indeed! What a wonderful and beautiful story of the embrace of night. (Which I am sure would make the most lovely book for children.)

Although I did not share your fears of the dark during childhood, for many adult years now I wake suddenly almost every night in complete panic, my subconscious telling me of danger, danger, all around, and something I have forgotten to do, something vital - it is alarming and despite happening so regularly still hard to settle afterwards in the dark of pre-dawn, but I love so much these glimpses of the night-life of creatures around us, and of the darkness being a blessing to them.
