i had a nice fire in my back yard. the night sky full of stars and life outside of my own open for me to view, study, think on with smiles and blinking eyes to all of it. so many planes in the high sky, so many lights not making sense, west ward bound. helicopter training path going by, close to ground with spotlights. awesome. a damn possum came right up to me and just sat there. sat there staring. he knew that it was a moment of animal human connection, me not caring, just sharing living brainwaves. i can hear nothing out here. your cities mean nothing to me.
