Kind of a wonderful thing

My parents live on the fringes of the middle of nowhere.

A couple nights ago, I took the dog out for a walk, looked up, and saw the Milky Way for the first time in years. So many stars, so many, and they seemed so close, and looking at them I could understand why thousands of years ago people told stories about men and women changed into stars, and why today we tell stories about people lucky enough to travel through them.

Then, somewhere in the neighborhood of Venus, I saw a shooting star.

And that was kind of a wonderful thing.

In other news: To come back to the prosaic, I have an account over at Twitter. [livejournal.com profile] slian_martreb tugged me over the cliff face.

Oh! And I had my preview of [livejournal.com profile] the_oscar_cat's reading of the kissing ficlet I posted over at [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon's LJ, and she makes it poetry. I can't wait to hear the rest.
