The Stars At Night...

I had forgotten just how beautiful a clear, cool night in Texas can be. Away from the city lights, the stars and moon illuminate the earth below, and memories of evenings spent staring up at the sky, time spent searching for some peace of mind, come flooding back. I have been wanting to see the stars...really see them...for some time now. For some reason, I find comfort in seeing the vastness of the universe spread out before me.  It reminds me of my own insignificance and all my problems (not at all as bad as it sounds...a little perspective sometimes is a good thing).  It speaks of places yet unseen. And, it makes me marvel at just how impressive the world we live in truly is.
