I got a funny kinda chill down my back tonight, as I leaned on the balcony wall and stared up into the sky. There was nothing there unusual or special, but I forget in my rushing around in life to observe the simple things.
Ha, simple, perhaps that is a bad descriptor. The sky is anything but simple. Fascinating, though, to think about all the written works, songs, poems, commentaries and written thoughts from people over the ages regarding the sky. The stars are still as of yet untouched by man, even through his greatest efforts. And though the ocean remains our most unknown place, space for sure holds a close second.
So looking out there tonight, I made a conscious effort to just stop and observe. It was peaceful and calm, and though I do not understand much of what is out there, I still enjoyed just looking. Just a mere 100 miles off the surface of the Earth changes so many things, from gravity to atmosphere. And one small change in the system of planets, and we could either burn up, freeze, explode, or any number of other possibilities!
If there is a God willing to create this place so perfectly and plan it out so carefully, He must care about the rest of life too. He must feel our pain, enjoy our happiness, be with us in times of need and reign the blessing down on us in forms of both things we have come to take for granted and the things which we recognize as special.
I'll continue to stare into space, and wonder what is next. The fact of the matter is, anything is possible; anything can happen - its just a little hard sometimes letting God be God. It sounds silly, I know, but I'd say we all struggle with that concept; I'm willing to be one to admit it, I do every day.
