Over the long weekend, we went to the Sentosa beach. The kids were so happy and we stayed late.
And then when I lifted my head, I saw the big and bright full moon.
It was heartening to see that.
And then when I turned to the other half of the sky, I saw the sky full of stars.
(Do not ask me for the pictures. The lousy iPhone is not up for the job. This is when I really miss Huawei Phones.)
That was even more heartening to me.
From where we live, we can see the moon when we look out of the window.
But stars?
I could not remember the last time I saw stars, let alone a sky full of them.
Normally, when I see some light in the sky, I could not tell whether that is a plane or a star…
Seeing the stars just gave me a strange feeling.
We should be able to see this more often and be reminded how vast the universe is and what life is really about.
Also, I need to take my family out more.
With Covid fading, that is to be expected!
