[at least then I’d get to escape this world & see things bigger than LIFE from time to time!]
I could cry. A long round of applause & standing ovation for Randy Halverson & DakotaLapse.com. This is, hands down one of the most moving things I have ever seen in my life!! I can’t wait to look more into his work. What I would give to be his sidekick for ONE day!!? He is now on my list of “Luckiest Humans, Ever!!”(which I just started & am adding only people who experience things like THIS on.) I have been discovering some incredible sites that allow you to get a glimpse of amazing celestial happenings like auroras, meteors, galaxies & such. I consider the people spending their time involved in this to be luckier & far more successful than all the famous/rich people of all planet earth. What a hobby, what a career!?! Sigh.
I can’t explain how often I find myself with a stiff neck, because I’ve been staring upwards at the sky, stargazing for an extended moment. I do it all the time. While walking (which can get dangerous haha.) In the car, while everyone is talking {
Oops} I’ll totally ‘space out’lol& be lost in the vast unknown of all that is outer-space, just whipping by the passenger-side window. The night sky brings me much peace & calmness. I’ve been like this since I was a child. Stars & celestial phenomena have forever spiked my curiosity. I remember making my mom camp out at like 3am for a meteor shower once. Supposedly it was going to be one of the most active we’d get to see in our life time, ‘officials’ were saying. So we went to bed early, I set multiple alarms & I woke her up to MAKE her keep her promise & take me to the open area we had chosen to view the shower. We brought blankets & we laid there for a few hours while hundreds of white streaks crossed the sky in fairly close intervals. I lost count somewhere after 700 -legitimately!! I’ll never forget that night.~Anyway, I am so glad I happened upon this Vimeo clip!!! It honestly just made my day! As you can probably tell from my excited jabber above.
