Tonight I stood outside on the cool grass and scanned the night skies looking for movement and trying to recall long-ago learned constellations and star names.* For a brief two to three minutes, I also watched the International Space Station speed over Earth. From my vantage point, this tiny, bright moving "star" represented dreams of childhood, dreams of humanity, and I felt at the same time both large and small in this Universe. It was magnificent.
I hope your weekend has provided inspiration and joy in unexpected ways.
Aside: I took college Honors Astronomy so I could share class with a cute physicist.
