big stars

on this day in… 2003… 2002… 2001

I’m up in the dark, quiet and cold, 4 below zero. Moonless, the stars look bigger, closer - magnified by the cold, the dark, even the quiet. My eyes feel bigger, my body smaller. My senses latch onto any stimulus they can find, and all I have is cold and starlight… and cold.
