I resonate with this post a lot because I have had moments of awareness like that, where I feel that incredible sense of smallness and even connectedness to everything.<BR/><BR/>I've imagined stars from both those perspectives :) and I've often thought about how I'm on a sphere and space is all around me, and that I am actually in space right now in this moment; hanging off the edge of this planet.

I miss them whenever I live in a built-up place with too many lights, but I would try this as soon as I get a chance.<BR/>I agree with you- it makes a person feel humble to think about the size of the planet we are on, and how insignificant that is in the larger scheme of things.
