“I do know. I want to be so
overwhelmed when I look at the infinite stretch
of sky that I feel scared of my reality and what
else exists beyond me and this water tower and
this city and these oceans and this planet. It's
impossible to imagine and it's important to be
able to just look up to be reminded of our
insignificance. The vastness is completely
profound and impossible to describe, but we
were meant to contemplate and be blown away
by the sheer force of its obscurity. Anything you
could ever see on a television screen or in
another person's eyes pales in comparison. It
seems far away and it is, but the stars appear
clustered together and they're not. It's
absolutely mind-boggling.”

“Illuminated neon lights look exceptionally bright at dusk, particularly that moment right after the sun has buried itself beyond the vista and all hints of warmth smolder with hope just before surrendering. The natural world falls asleep as the man-made world comes to life, like passing the electric torch across an impossibly navy-blue sky.”
