yay stars

I'm usually in the city so I never see stars, but I'm working in bumble PA at the moment and I just went out on the porch and was smoking a cig...looked up and almost lost my breath.

GORGEOUS stars...crystal clear. And it got me thinking....

The speed of light is how long it takes for light to "travel" but it's our eyes that does the seeing...so maybe light (and sound for that matter) simply "is", but our limited perception abilities gives them values and "speed."

I dunno. Probably doesn't make sense if I really get into brass tacks with it, but it was a cool thought at the time.

Also put ancient religions into clear focus for me...OF COURSE people worshipped the sun first, then the moon, and then the stars. How could they not?

And how can WE not, for that matter. Beautiful.
