I used to live out in the country and the constellations looked like what they said a lot more than in the burbs where I am now.

The last time I was in a reasonably dark place I looked up and saw Leo, Taurus, and a satellite passing overhead and started weeping at the beauty.

I miss stars.

Many years ago I did an canoe trip down the Green River through Canyonlands National Park in Utah. We camped next to the river, in the canyons, and was 50+ miles from the nearest city. I was legitimately moved to tears seeing full Milky Way in all its glory.
