Star-gazing with friends

So I had a truly great time this weekend, spending time with friends who I've all known for varying degrees of time, and from different locations. Saying it was a great time would be an understatement, so perhaps it's best to leave that aside.

What I'd like to highlight though is the Friday night we spent staring up at the sky. Living in the cement-laden streets of the suburbs we often forget how gorgeous the world really is. Sharing the experience of seeing the expansive sky was truly awe-inspiring. I mean, watching the sky without being hindered by street lights, cars, phone lines, etc. alone is amazing, but what inspires awe in me is that 10 people could sit there, and enjoy such a tranquil moment.

In the end, no matter how hard we question what this life is about, is it more important to enjoy seeing "the answers" alone, or to be able to share in the glimpse together?

Essentially my point is, I'm glad I was able to see the gorgeous stars, but I'm even more glad that I was able to share such an experience with those I have chosen to care about. :)
