Lin, thanks for focusing some attention to the sky and little piece of the universe we can see at night. We are so small but so lucky indeed. Smiles!!

I truly miss seeing the myriads of stars, Duke. It's amazing how many we can see, knowing there are so many more that we cannot. Thank you.

Oh, if only to reach and touch, so easily, where eyes and hearts can deeply travel in a dreamy instant. A worthy quest. Beautiful write!

Thank you, Tom. When I lived in Colorado, I was amazed at the number of stars that were visible. Not here due to light pollution and I miss seeing their beauty.
