At Cedarbrook Campground in Lebanon, Ohio. Woke up to the pitter patter of rain on the roof. Today is going to be "reorganize everything day" as there was a great deal of chaos on Friday night and Saturday morning. First mosquito bite (of course it was me, I am a born bug magnet.)
Last night, I paused and looked up at the sky, I could see the stars as it was fairly clear. They seemed so bright. I wanted to share the moment with the family, but the boys were already in their pjs.
From Walden, excerpt by Henry David Thoreau:
And know celestial lights, do plainly see,
And gladly hail them, numbering two or three.
For lore that's deep must deeply studied be,
As from deep well men read star-poetry.
These stars that never pal'd, though out of sight,
But like the sun they shine forever bright,
Aye, they are suns, though earth must in its flight,
Put out its eyes that it may see them light.
The day is upon us here in Lebanon, Ohio...the stars not visible but still up there, a new night will come and another opportunity to see smaller stars in heaven.
