My star visit

My star visit

When I was very young, 6~7 of age. We visited our grandparents, their home was old school, no tv, so me being a city kid was used to stay up late watching tv.
Every one was getting ready for bed, but I was not even close to my bed time. So I did the only thing I could think of. I laid on my back and watched the stars.

And let me tell you, every time I watched the stars ever since I have been hoping to see something similar to what I seen that night, and every time I look up I am disappointed.

I went across the world, visited observatories built high up, where they are supposed to see better into the sky. Not one had the view I got in my grandparents courtyard. And that place was about sea level, if not under sea level elevation wise.

Every time I looked up ever since, I get this 2 d view, like I am looking true a flat window.
That night was different, it felt like the stars, and there where more numerous then ever before, where at arms length. It was like, all I had to do is reach out and I could take one into my hand. Even at that age I knew stars where huge and far away, but I could not resist the urge to reach my hand for one. I laughed at how silly I was, but it looked so magical. It was like the hole sky was wrapped around me, and I felt lost in the darkness between the stars. I wanted to be a part of that, I wanted to see it again. Alas, I never seen any thing so beautiful ever again, and will probably die without seeing something like that again ;_;
