STAR GAZING

You know, I don’t gaze at our stars enough.  Maui is such a great place to look up.  3,000 miles from anywhere with a lot of lights, it is super amazing to just look up. 

It might actually be a good hobby to start.  We went on a full moon star gazing trip last year on a boat out of Lahaina (about 25 miles from home).  The trip featured a renowned astonomist who pointed out so many interesting things in the sky.  Planets, constellations (complete with stories), satellites.  I went begrudgingly but became an enthusiast.

Somehow it’s reassuring to know how small I am in the scheme of things.  I like believing I’m part of something bigger .. kinda like believing in Santa.  Since it is so clear here, I may just invest in a small telescope.

I have so much to learn.  Time to un-rust that brain!
