all i can say is.... wow

sat outside and stared at the stars. in the words of lilly from "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, "all i can say is, wow."

soooo many stars. so beautiful. i imagined mariners of times past out on the sea staring at the sky, using the stars to navigate. how amazing that through the generations and across the years, these same stars have borne witness to history. Neanderthals stared at these same stars. to think that so many people go through life (myself in suburbia included) without the joy of seeing these stars daily, that some may even forget - for all intents and purposes - that the vast universe of stars even exist. i must get a telescope.
