Forgot About The Stars

Living in the city, sometimes you forget how bright the stars shine at night. Our vision is blurred by streetlights, cars, buildings and a multitude of electronic devices, that we can't even see the vast universe when we look up at the sky.

I forgot about the stars.... until I had to walk home in pitch black. You literally couldn't see a single thing in front of you. Foot after foot you feel the beaten path as you try to remember your way back home at night, hoping not to step in mud, or worse, manuer.

It was breathtaking to have the whole universe shine so brightly before your eyes. I was in awe in how many millions of stars I could see.  I searched for familiar patterns, wishing I payed better attention back in astronomy class.

The best part of the night sky is that no matter where in the world one may be, we all look up at the same extraodinary universe above us.
