About Me
I love to write, read, paint, draw, take photos, listen to music, travel, and stargaze. If I could live my life over again I would be an astronomer. “Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. Arthur C. Clarke
If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
When my eyelids grew too heavy to hold them open. I would continue to gaze in wonder as I fall asleep under the night sky. This is an actual scene from my life as we camped under the starry sky at Santa Rosa, New Mexico one cool late-summer night.
