After the most delicious (and largest) dinner of the year, and after spending the entire day surrounded by family and love and laughter, I left the main house and walked out to my room for bed, and the sky--black and vibrant, with hardly a cloud in sight--stopped me in my tracks.
Jupiter has edged west (do you remember August like I do, and seeing the planet and its moons through the telescope for the first time as soon as it showed up in the east?), and now Orion is prominent where Jupiter used to be, the Three Sisters instantly recognizable and the rest of constellation easily picked out afterwards.
I feel so small, and so large, and so, well, whole.
Thanks for everything. Amen.
