Finally, STARS! So many stars.
I gaze up from the bottom of the valley, walled in on all
sides by enormous mountains cloaked in shadows, their outlines barely visible
against the pitch black sky. The encroaching silhouette of the mountains
exaggerates the domed ceiling of stars, creating the feeling of being in a planetarium.
The constant rushing static of the river carries my thoughts far away from
where I sit, to memories of many starry nights in the company of friends and
strangers.
A dog howls and I come back to this place; seated in a dark valley at the gateway to the high Himalayas.
