At one point, Dan and I were cruising down Santa Fe somewhere between Olathe and Eudora when we decided to pull over and get out to look at the sky. Wow. Numerous people have heard me complain about the evil civilization glow that radiates from this city, but it's been so long since I last left it on a clear night that I'd forgotten how beautiful the night sky can be. Out beyond the fringe of civilization lies a field full of brilliant points of light. The occasional fuzzy tailed rabbit zips across the sky, disappearing almost as quickly as it appeared. Satellites and planets show up amongst their distant cousins. Even a heretic like myself can find God's fingerprints lingering amongst the distant stardust. There may be pain, misery, unrest and melancholy back here in the city, but out there at night, all things fade into darkness, only to be consumed by the light of thousands of distant stars. Limited inner peace is only a lengthy drive away from anything remotely civilized.
