Are you seeing stars? I hope so.Â
A couple of weeks ago I was blessed to visit the Anza Borrego Desert in California. The desert itself is fascinating. Its ever changing shapes and colors depend on the light and darkness of the day or night. But the night produced a show!
Some of us stayed the night and when the others had gone home we walked away from all the lights and watched the show. I haven’t seen stars like that in years. Brilliant! The milky way. The shooting stars. Quiet!
I thought about how most of us spend our days in the cities where the cloud cover and city lights make it difficult to see the splendor above us. Much like the sameness of our days often keep us from seeing the splendor of the people we care about.
It is worth a trip to the desert! Take you friends or family or both. Be amazed; be creative. Instead of trying to get everyone to see this or that constellation–create your own. Listen to what others see in the huge sky with its wonderous lights.
And take several deep breaths–in and out–and allow that energy to fill your being and give you life.
