One of my favorites, well worth reading to the end:

It's not the least bit religious, but I'd say it was spiritual, or about two having a non-defined spiritual moment.

Often when I'm feeding my cat during odd hours of the night, I like to take a few mins to go outside in the freezing cold and just stare are the beautiful night sky.

And as I listen tentatively to the cheerful meows of my ginger tabby cat George, I struggle to contemplate the sheer vastness of the cosmos, and I wonder too, what George thinks of the nightly star-scape while he awaits his midnight snacks...

I've always loved the night sky, seemed so filled with beauty and possibilities...and part of me just loves to be hidden (my Scorpio energy?), though I love the sun (and the foggy days), too. I tried that "imagining looking out" and I've often imagined various astronomical phenomenon, for example if a nebula was clearly visible in our sky. Some of the most haunting dreams was of a moon much closer than it was.

I once brought up what effects having 3 moons might have in our sky, and then speculating on size (maybe they'd only look like a large star in the sky rather than being obvious...) and the effects that would have on the coasts (and the weather) and someone told me, "Only you wonder things like that." I think one reason I love some scifi is because it allows me to travel (if only in imagination) to other worlds (Sag energy), though I'm often disappointed with what I see as the lack of imagination in a lot of scifi which is perhaps why I'm inspired to write my own.

I have tried to get various animals, including cats, to view the night sky, but they never show any interest that I can sense, at least not when I'm there. But then as someone once summed up feline nature...

animals dont need to think about nature like we do.
they simply ARE. they exist in a strange state of enlightenment with the universe and engage in the universal synergy that we get away from.
