The moon is so bright here.
It’s like a street lamp.
And the sky … It seems bigger than it possibly could be.
Vast.
Do you use that word?
I don’t suppose we really need it for much.
But the sky here is vast.I woke up around 3 and had trouble falling back asleep.

And I started thinking about the sky.
Do you ever think of the sky or the moon?
Or have you gotten used to them?
Well, it’s new to me still.
I’m used to cities, where everything is crowded.
They even manage to crowd out the sky.
Cities are always doing things like that.
It’s not like that out here.I like the city. I grew up in the city.

But it’s different out here.
It has the sky.
And maybe I need the sky more than I know.And there’s camels here too!

Maybe I needed camels?
Not sure about that.
But I do think I missed the moon and the sky.
I’m grateful for my Church and my People and my Town.
