RE: What’s Even Out There Anyway? A Digital Illustration
This artwork of yours is so much fun, you know. I admire your written content too, inviting us to imagine what's out there. Here in Texas, we have a mystical phenomenon called "Marfa lights," which is a strange appearance of lights just above the horizon line in this one specific stretch of countryside. Near there is an observatory, where we can see the planets close-up in high-powered telescopes, and we can also see the sun's motion, wavering like a big fireball. I've seen stars twinkle with every color of the rainbow, like faraway jewels. But the most interesting thing I've seen in the sky is a star that traveled across the sky, appearing to become closer and closer, as if watching us, during a certain person's prayer at the Standing Rock Reservation, in North Dakota. And then the star suddenly shifted its course and dashed away like an ordinary meteorite. Three separate people witnessed this, including myself.
That sounds absolutely spectacular! I’ve never been to Texas but if I ever venture there I think I’ll have to make a stop to try for a look at those lights. My mother was born in one of the Dakotas while my grandfather used to work in security on one of the reservations. I wonder if it was the same one. It’s a shame I can’t remember much about that. It’s been a delight to read, thank you so much for taking the time to share this!
