lie in a field at night and look at stars

I remember so clearly that night at Umass when all the world seemed an endless sea of possibility. You were at Umass in a sojourn from MIT and we stayed out late, too late. Laying down in the field we looked skyward, talked and kissed. Too bad it was never meant to be. But that should never detract from the beauty of the moment.

the best part is when you see shooting stars!

Sometimes I forgot how beautiful it is to look up at the stars and watch them. Sometimes simple things like this can just give you a new perspective on life. If you think about it, people are always looking to the future and not paying any attention to what is passing them by.

The other night was a perfect example. Just good friends around a camp fire, watching the stars and playing music. Life doesn’t get any more beautiful than that.

haha the other night at a party a friend of mine was like “guys, let’s go outside and watch the stars!’

so we did.

this is both a good memory for me and a bad memory. the first half was romantic and sweet, the other half was a near-rape experience. if you’re going to be in a field, be in a field with someone you know and trust.

but overall, it was worth it. the stars were beautiful…the sounds of crickets chirping, the smell of fresh-cut grass…

nice.

Gazing at the sky in the middle of the night is one of the best things, it can only be the best if you’re with someone you care for.

I did this with an ex once it was easially one of the best dates he had taken me on it was soo amazing we didn’t even have to talk we just looked at the stars.

When my sister and her family moved to another state her son was homesick for us and his old house. He was only 8 and didnt understand. We took a blanket out into a field in pitch blackness. I showed him the stars and told him that we would both go in our yards and look up and know that we weren’t really that far away from each other since we were both looking at the same stars.

The sky is beautiful in rural areas. Go to the top of a mountain and the beauty will actually make you dizzy. Winter skies are very pretty but I don’t like the cold.

Watching stars at night really humbles you. It’s so amazing how big the universe is. Call it God, call it a bunch of amazing looking gases…it’s beautiful.

Best done with a bunch of friends or a loved one. :)
