The Night Sky
The night sky calls, "Look up! Look up!" Our heads tilt back and our eyes look toward the heavens. We bathe in the wonder and delight we see ... then ... suddenly we are drawn into new realms and we become the night sky travelers. Curiosity and awe lead the way. We learn as we go following the age old paths seen in the heavens. Discoveries are made, insights flow, and cycles turn. We move through the seasons and the solar system, dancing with the heavenly bodies. The setting sun, the phases of the moon, the stars, the planets, the constellations ... all the jewels of the night sky become our friends and teachers. We long for the adventures of this night sky traveling. Our horizons expand. |
