I’m outside with Zeke.
It’s dark. Still. Quiet.
We’re both calm.
I look up.
He’s sniffing.
Yes, I sense it too.
Something bigger, much bigger here.
In quietness,
the sound of eternity
can at times be heard—
the stars somehow closer and
a sense of the earth’s moving.

we feel it, we sense it, yet cannot fully take it all in or describe it. kind of like the 5th taste element, umami.

Yes. I had to look up unami – thanks for expanding my vocab
a category of taste in food (besides sweet, sour, salt, and bitter), corresponding to the flavor of glutamates, especially monosodium glutamate.

it is an interesting word – out of the realm of what we normally can recognize with the words and tastes we know, but somehow know it exists. like bleu cheese, or truffles. and kind of like the universe.

May we never be too busy, tired, jaded, old, infirm, sick or indifferent to look up; a simple childhood joy that we can actually hold on to, and so many wonders above us!
