Lessons from the horizon

If we look closely enough at the spot on the horizon where the Earth meets the sky, we might begin to notice a few things:

• Everything above feeds everything below.
• In fact, they’re more connected than they initially seem.
• What looks close enough that you can touch it often is not.
• Echoes take on many forms.
• Just as quickly as a scene appears, it disappears, as well.
• We don’t just see all of this. We hear and feel it, too.

If the heavens decide to cooperate tonight, I’ll wander over to that same spot in our neighbourhood park near where the Earth meets the horizon. It won’t look anything like this, but that’s kind of why we keep returning to this place.

There’s plenty of room if you’d like to join me.
