The night sky

Interesting isn't it? Everyone has looked at it with awe, wonder, or fear at least once. Actually, that same sky means so many things to so many people. It's been virtually the same since the dawn of mankind... it's a link to our past... and our future. No matter what, those same stars will keep on shining down on this giant floating rock we call home.

Sometimes lovers look at the sky and see their unbound love in it. Other times, when they're separated they'll look at it and seeing the same thing from thousand of miles away, they won't feel as far apart.

A scientist may look at it and see the vast expanse of the universe: planets, galaxies, clusters, nebula, the list goes on. A sad man may look up and see the blackness with despair. A happy may may look up and see those pinpricks of light with hope.

Regardless, we've all seen it, and we all wonder about it, and we're all in awe of it. Whether it's awe for God's creation, awe for this life we're given, awe for the sheer beauty or terror we see in it. It's something that we all have in common, something we all share, something that connects all of us, something that makes up the condition of human existence.
