Living as I now do in the Colorado mountains--
nearly every night is clear.
I watch the Moon change phase and position among the stars--every night.
The Big Dipper is in a different place in the sky--every night.
Venus and Jupiter and Saturn keep moving.

Familiar constellations--Orion, Canis Major, Andromeda--rotate around the pole, every night.
Every morning, the Sun rises in a slightly different spot against the mountain peaks. And it sets in a different place in the evening.

Intellectually, I knew all this, because I love science and I studied astronomy in school. Yeah, I'm a geek, and a little nerdy, and I always have been.
I knew all this. But now, I'm living it.
I couldn't see all this in the city.

I can't NOT see it here in the mountains.
I walk my dog before the sun rises, and after it sets, in darkness a city dweller may never see.
The Milky Way wheels above me almost every night.
Out here, Mother Nature rules. The Universe is far bigger than we can imagine.
