The Sky and Me
Do you ever get the sense that no one understands you in this world? That sometimes a person can feel very alone?
I felt that way tonight. After a few phone calls, it was disappointing to see that some of my closest friends weren't willing to watch the beautiful dark night sky with me.
So, I drove alone. Alone with my thoughts. I drove to watch the sunset and I drove to watch the stars light up the sky. There's been a few times that I've attended the Observatory and a few times I saw the same thing over and over. The Moon, Venus, and Jupiter. Surely, these things are magnificient without a doubt, but one does hope that new adventures and new discoveries lie ahead.
Perhaps, I am meant to discover the wonders of the world on my own. Tonight, I saw the globular cluster, the ring nebula, and Vega. They were amazing. Jupiter shone more brightly than before. It was a perfect night for viewing.
As I drove hope, I began to wonder. When everything else in the world seems so scary and disappointing, why can't things just be simple like the sky? It sets and it shines. Simple.
I do find comfort in the night sky. Because when I look up, I don't feel like anything is stuck between me and it. It's just me and the sky.
