They are out there

Last week, I decided to do what a few other men before me did... I conquered fire!
This require flints, some dried tinder, and kindling on top. That is if you are a cave men. I had a lighter, paper and wood, so much easier!
This is not really an event as I live in a camping. But whenever the fire is light, friends come to share stories, wine and the heat.
The days are getting shorter, I didn't really notice until that night. After a while one couple left, then by the time the last couple went back to their own cave trailer, I looked at the time: 9:00 PM and it was pitch dark.
I looked up and the sky was illuminate by so many stars, I could even see the milky way. What a grandiose show! we are so thinly in this universe. For years I didn't look up at night, I forgot all about those celestial bodies that we can enjoy for almost anywhere. Tonight if the sky is clear, just take a few minutes and look up; They are out there!

  2. I've heard that camping is a 5 billion star hotel instead of just a 5 star hotel. But a 5 star hotel has better beds!

  4. Yes, it's an amazing universe! I usually forget to look up but a few nights ago when my husband and I got home after dark, I looked up and the sky was full of stars. I was thrilled...as if I was seeing it for the first time in my life. Such a simple pleasure.
