Last night, while walking home from the mall near my house (a twenty minute journey, due to poor bus service after having to work late), I looked up into the slightly cloudy night sky and saw the most glorious sight. The stars were so clear and the air was crisp and a little cold. I couldn't take my eyes off of them.

The stars were like sparkling crystals in the sky, despite the moon being obscured by clouds.

I couldn't help to think, on that walk home, how romantic my circumstances were. The traffic was extremely sparse and I couldn't help thinking that - if I didn't have to get up to go to work this morning - how I could lie down and look up into that night sky for hours. It would have been especially lovely to share it with someone.

For a second or two, the whole thing made me feel a bit lonely. And small.

That feeling didn't quite go away by the time I got home, however, I couldn't help but feel I'd seen something magical in that night sky. I don't know when I will find that one special person to share this life of mine with... However, with skies like this one, I hope that it's sooner than later.

The reason is that the capacity of my heart expands when I witness such awe-inspiring sights.
