Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

"Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul"

- Don McLean, Vincent

Last night it was brought to my attention that the sky was so clear that the stars were literally lighting up the night. I stepped out onto my porch and there it was, the big beautiful vast sydney sky. Not a cloud in sight, but in their place millions of little stars beckoning our eyes and our minds to them. Then we are drawn to them, in awe of their very existence. It was such a beautiful sight that if i weren't scared of the MASSIVE bat in my brothers tree i would've lay down there until the sun chased the nightsky away. Everyone seems to be infatuated with staring up at the clouds. And sure they're fluffy and its cool to find pictures (even when they're very OBSCENE pictures), but i don't think that compares to the beauty of a star shining from lightyears away. I'd take stargazing over cloudwatching any day of the week.

Now all this stargazing-talk had me thinking of something i'd like to put up on my Bucket List [see last post]. Not only would i like to be able to sit pointlessly on grassy knolls and gaze at the stars, but i think it would just be grand if i knew a thing or two about them. Perhaps know a couple of constellations aside from the Southern Cross. In fact my dream would probably be a house that had a room with a glass ceiling that i would be able to look up into the heavens with. But you know what? I'd be happy with;

2) A night under the stars. Gazing at the infinite abyss that is the universe.
- oh yeah. How much easier is that than the first one!
