It is the full moon, and the clouds glide past overhead, buoyed by winter breeze.

Revelations of the Night
We stop. The light goes off, and we stand still, breathing in the feeling of forest around.
The Dying of the Light

My inability to identify any constellation other than Orion's belt has been a source of great frustration for me; my brother, Neel, has had greater success. Nevertheless, being able to see the stars - even if I can't understand them - is a wonderful feeling. In… Continue reading Star’s Eye View
