Who among us doesn’t enjoy a night under the stars, looking up at the tiny points of blue light that represent the vastness of the cosmos and our smaller place in it? Although we may forget this sentiment for the rest of the day, I would like to think that it remains there, in the back of our minds, percolating through all other thoughts imprinted in the subconscious mind. These beautiful stars, the beauty and the mystery behind them, inspire us to a bigger view of the universe and almost instantaneously spur us to questions about meaning, as if living in this world isn’t enough. We want to engage in this other one too. The sooner the better.
