for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.

- Albert Camus

First Post

I went stargazing last week with the astronomy club after a wonderful dinner with friends from Life Begins at Forty. Here is a poem it inspired:

Stargazing

Hand in Hand
Side by side
four across
we look up
and peer into the
cold November abyss
searching for stars
and long lost friends
from childhood.
