Extras
“Ours was then a dark night, horizon to horizon it was dark. In that sleeping bag nailed to the barn roof I was no longer below the sky, instead half way to Sirius and Betelgeuse, not under the stars but amongst the stars. I was sleeping on the edge of heaven.”
“If there is a view that fundamentally alters who we are and who we think we are, it is to look across a sky on a dark cloudless night. That better part of dark when daylight has moved to the far side of the earth, and the sky vault acquires a depth that is beyond the mere majestic, instead sensed as the volume of endless space rather than a two-dimensional backdrop. The child’s mind is untethered by such a gaze; humanity, all of it, the last thousand million years, becomes infinitesimal, a grain, a speck, and such a speck as to be downright scary.”
