My husband and I went out a few nights ago to view the Northern lights. It was late and it was dark. We needed to drive off the main road and park. It was definitely out of my comfort zone. I was afraid someone would run into my vehicle but remembered that I had reflectors that would show up if headlights approached. I was unsure on my feet. We did see the lights and my gosh all the stars.
The night sky has always fascinated me. I love the quiet and the beauty of night. I visited a Dark Sky Field in Cherry Valley, PA a few years ago, it was a great experience. The other star gazers shared their knowledge and experiences and I learned a lot just in a brief visit. I am fortunate to live in an apartment where I have a clear sky view of sunrise and moonrise. It provides a daily grounding and the constant changes offer moments for reflection and meditation.
How great that you have a daily view of sunrise and moonrise from your home. I think everyone should have the opportunity to experience a truly dark sky. There are many places to do so.

That’s so great,
