the night sky can inspire you on many
many levels most people’s concept of God
has their God residing in the sky not
under their feet in the dirt there’s a
deep sense that what’s above us is
greater than us bigger than us more
powerful than us seems to be deep in our
DNA I don’t know other animals that that
gaze upwards and I wondered could it be
for example that most four-legged
mammals are looking down ok they’re
looking for food looking up is just
whatever how are you even gonna do that
when does that arise plus at night
they’re asleep but you know we sleep at
night as well
however we are perfectly comfortable
sleeping on our backs most animals in
the entire Animal Kingdom insects
included will never find themselves on
their back
never ever we are perfectly fine
sleeping on our back at night and what
happens when you wake up you got to go
pee in the bushes you wake up at night
and you’re on your back the sky is there
for you to behold I think the sky is a
fundamental part of our life experience
add to this modern scientific knowledge
that stars are born live out their lives
and die some of them explode and those
are the explode and manufacture the
elements from the periodic table of
elements that comprise life as we know
it and the more knowledge you have of
the universe the more majestic it is and
the more connected you are to it it’s
not we’re here and that’s there is that
we’re here that’s there but our atoms
and molecules were once there and now
they’re here so there’s a kinship with
the cosmos that modern science has
revealed to us so I would claim no
matter how you slice the question what
does it mean to look up no matter who
answers that question they’re going to
tell you that looking up is something
beautiful something profound something
deep in more ways than one it contains
our destiny
you
