when was the last time yall just stoped and looked up at the stars and thought about the shit around you and didnt just focus on yourself?
I do this every day.
At lesat once.
A bout with cancer and burying many many friends will do this for you.
Looking at the stars is nice.. it clears your head. and seeing that there is something so much bigger out there waiting for us really gives me a different outlook on things. It's just nice to relax and forget, if only for a couple of minutes....
There isnt a night that goes by where I dont think about the people that are the closest to me. The one's that are still here on this earth or the ones that are here spiritually. The stars I see always remind me of them.
All the time I think most ppl have lost touch with the natural order if you don't already try to be more involved with the natural world you'll be so much happier or am I just a hippy? LOL
well i would like to look at the stars but not much for stars here in the Japan area, but yes i do look at the stars and think about stuff just to clear my mind and then to think how others are doing, what they are doin and all sorts of things
unfortunatle the stars in my part of the world r covered but i look up at the clouds dayly and thing shit i wish theyed go away
I can not remember the last time I just looked at the stars.
i talk to the stars sometimes... like they watch me and try to guide me in everything they do... if something good happens i say "thanks guys"
i don't know why...
although recently i have been talking a lot to myself walking home from work... or randomly if i think i'm alone... hmmm...
I love look to the stars... specialy when i walk from the stable to my house, its like dreaming, beautyful!
everyone must have tried looking up at the stars and walking in a straight line at some point... you can't do it sober...
waits for some smart arse to say they can
Shit it's one of my favorite past times! A nice bottle of ----------- and a comfy pile of leaves, kinda hard to find the pile know, and just stare into oblivion, some music though like MAzzy is always nice.
about 3 times a week i love the stars theres just something about them
I look ups at the stars and moon every night when I come out from work, I also watch them while I'm driving as I have a moon roof on my car... I love star gazing , and looking for faces and things in the shapes on the moon
When I can see them, I love looking at the stars. I always find the answers to my questions and they bring me peace of mind.
I look at them every chance I get. I find them very calming, and they help take my mind off the worries of the day.
I do it almost every night.....since I live on a farm I don't have to deal with lights from any nearby city dulling the nighttime sky.....
i love just gazing at the stars from my window sometimes....others i just hide against the dark corner of my bed and think with nothing for the noice of dead silence ringing in my ears and the howlign wind outside which makes a horrible noise....i love it...
Because I love laying out in the grass on summer nights and just stare at the stars, I wrote this sometime ago as an ode to all those who have passed in my life, because it is when I am lying there that I think about them and talk to them ... I just wanted to share this with everyone ...
Midnight Stars
By Me (copyrighted)
I woke up this morning
Thoughts of you on my mind
I didn’t know why, I can’t explain
The night sky still in the air
The moon full, tiny specks lite my way
As I arrived I looked up to the stars
I see my motherly star though not as bright
I look to her right and there it sets
A new star that lights up the night
I guess I knew then and there what was to come
One tiny tear ran down my cheek and I brushed it away
The call would come to confirm my fears
But at that moment, I looked to the heavens
I whispered Thank You
Though I knew the pain and emptiness I’d feel
I still said Thank You
We asked for swiftness, the pain to be short
With only a few months suffering you have left our world
Gone to another place though you’re not alone
We treasure your memories and live on each day
Remembering the life you lived fully
Not night goes by when I look to the sky
To see my Midnight Stars
My love and strength to face each new day
why i was just looking at the stars a mere few hours ago. *smile* i noticed the ring around the moon, meaning it is going to rain.....and it is indicated by mr. weatherman too! i ponder everything, with great depth, every day. i too enjoy sitting in the dark, no sounds but my sea of everflowing, contemplative thoughts, and mother natures moans outside. in the spring and summer, the night finds me exploring her dark crevices. ♥ ♀
I'll be honest, I haven't looked up to the stars in weeks. I am too busy getting my own life back on track which tires me. Maybe it is time to take five and to get lost in the rays of the moon again... Thank you for this tread, it gave me a great idea ::smiles::
just last night...last night was the last time..but really i wasn't focused to myself or to the shit around me...i just looked up and stared at the stars...
I do that every night when I can see the stars...My friends think that i should think more about myself, cause I put the others needs and feelings above my own.
i'm do grateful to reside in the middle of no where. City lights don't obstruct such a graceful view. ♥
LOL good thought and to answer whenever I can (Liverpool lights do block most of it :-( but heres a spanner in the worx along the same lines as you but how many of us just look up?? I mean in he day going to and from wherever you go..I looked up a few dayz ago and above all the shops I saw buildings that are beutiful and thoughts flooded my head and well you get the idea :-) so yep look at the stars all you can but also day 2 day everyday wherever you are jus look up every now and then you'll be suprised at what you might see :-)
every night and morning...
not even stars but clowds and anything that be placed on the sky...
Since I started living on the top floor of a block,I have startedlooking at the stars even more than I used to. As often as I can I lean out of my window, with a blanket around me and a packet of fags, and just watch.
It is a comforting thing, and it does stopme being so egocentric in my dramatic teenage life, as you tend to percieve it when your eighteen.
I thinkmore people should do it, and put us all a bitmoreinto perspective. Imin my friends room right now, watchingMonty Python, but theres a window right next to me....
thanks for thee poem HellChildDami
i really enjoyed it
sadly it has been 8 months since i have seen the stars, i live basical in a city (sniff sniff sob) so i can't see any of them. but when i did see them last i just sat a stared for , it must have been an hour and a half, before i fell to sleep. i too find comfort in them.
Isnt it odd how people see comfort in the stars, but few have ever said the same about the sun.
I trhink its great that so many of us can understand each other through onemedium. Great thread.
i rarely ever think of myself i usually think of my bf or friends and family first before i think of myself.
Whenever i go outside, i usually just stand there or lie down on to roof of our van and stare at the stars...they're so beautiful...
I remember one time laying outside when I lived on a farm and watched the stars I became so in tune with them for the 7 hours I layed out there and watched them and looking all around. I felt as if they became part of me. then I think I woke up... but even cloudy evenings just before the sun is completely down and the cool brezze in my face I feel so at peace with everything and everyone, then when the sun goes down an the moon is out in a spot where it can shine down on me.. then brings the rain.. so spiritaly cleansing to me...
*sighs* I can't wait until autumn... for this is usually how it is everynight.. I so long for this feeling..
It's a lot easier to see the stars from here in korea than in Joliet, I'l tell you that much. I've been able to see Orian every night for the past week, its rather plesant to look at the stars....... Thats one thing I miss most about home..... lying down on the hill behind my house, but the lake, looking at the stars with my girl.......one of the more simple pleasures in life, but it makes the world just seem so right.
Loki.. she is one lucky woman.. I bet she enjoys those special times with you..
sometimes looking up at the stars, hearing the wind blow, taking a walk in the woods away from society is the only thing that helps me breath, take a break from the chaos all around me..the world is beautiful, but sometimes people can make it an ugly place to be ..
i agree with u jaden i love to do that to its nice, i wish it wasnt cloudy out tonight so i could do that.
i don't really know how long it has been... the weather has been mad out here lately. we always have the snow or the rain nowadays. and today, fog covered the whole city.
its so nice i wish i was at my dads right now so i could do that he lives in the middle of a forest, so u see all the stars, god thats purrtty.
I try to do this every once in awhile.. I'm waiting for autumn.. most and to me best time to do it.. *sighs* oh autumn hurry and get here......
i love stargazing lol taken it to the extreme and use my telescope when i can get out of the city area :D
on my birthday but i know that the world doesn't not just go around me
ive always wanted a telescope since i was little, i really want to see the stars through one...
i think we both need to buy one sometime but i have to get a job again before i can do that. it would be worth it to buy one i think
Quite often I love the night and spend a lot of time watching things at night so the stars are one of them
There's this beautiful place in Moab, Utah called "Lion's Back Park" Very popular. It's got rolling meadow's of rock and during the nights its warm, so you can climg a rock buldge and just lay there gazing. The stars are so close you feel as though you're right in space itslef. I love takign a day out of my time when I am in Colorado to go there. It's just amazing.
I have a job.. but even though I live at home and help my parents out.. I still have to pay rent along with other bills....
Sometimes i find it hard to break away and look at the stars. im either at work or i just forget how beautiful they are. but on those occasions that i do they seem more beautiful then they ever could have been and i wonder why i dont look at them more. i just get so buisy and so tired but i think eveyone does. but it seems that everytime i look at them i am reminded of how much i used to look at them when i was a child and i sigh, and i hope i never loose the feeling that looking at the stars gives me.
hehe me and my poetic soul
hmm, it was yesterday, I would do it now and I most likely will. It's just kind of cloudy. But I like clouds too.
I do it every night along with thanking the goddess for my existance and fit in the world.
I just did it again tonight.. Briefly tho. I love to light the candles in my room. Burnin some incense and look out my bedroom window. It gets me back on track. I cant wait till Spring time when I can walk around and lay outside.. and walk around at night. I miss it so much. Its my favorite thing to do. I miss it. Every stars brings back a memory for me while walking.
When I look at the stars in the sky at night I dont think of myself I think of my parents that brought me into this world and wish that they could see me now...Now that they are gone and I will always think of them and I normaly say good night to them everynight when I look at the stars....
The Stars are not what draws me to look up ...it is the Moon ...in all it's phases it is truly beautiful to me.
::Walks along looking up at the Moon...stumbles and falls over::
the moon is beautiful too, i too also tend to look at it...
Every time I wake up.
I don't take life for granted anymore.
I think everyone must love this....Its best to be on some cottage with your friends, in mountains...no lights except the candles....Looking up to the night sky seeing stars u have never seen before....
oooh aah lets go somewhere like that!!!
Sunshine.... someone else who loves the moon! My mum told me that when I was little I used to shout 'THE MOON THE MOON!' everytime I could see it ;-) she said I was a bit obsessed.
Its a beautiful thing indeed x
I do that when ever I need to get away. Its a great escape when you can't go no where, so when I need to I sit out back under the moon and stars, sometimes ill talk to my b/f but I try to do this a couple times a month
actually i just did that last night. it was fun to. i never focus on just me i am the last person that i care or think about
i myself use to look at the stars every night but recently i just looked up at the sky and watched the sky for 2 hrs for the first time in months......it was so beautiful i had almost forgotten
The last time i looked at the sky was just last night but the area i reside in doesn't show many stars. The last time i looked up and actually saw the stars was the last time i was in New York, I was upstate at a relatives house. Also i think of others all the time, and tend to put more focus on them then myself.
I do it all the time, it's one of the best things in life. It comforts me.
i useually do that every friday cause thinking clamsme and shit that happens, happnes usually on friday and so i cant do anything about it so i jus think of what to help my friends with and well stars are pretty anyways.....
sucky thing of living in Gilbert, Arizona is that i cant see many stars so i like to go to mexico and all the stars are there to ssee....*stares*
I tend to most evenings, due to my sleeping pattern. I will just gaze and wonder, what the hell is out there......... I love to watch the sun rise in the morning and be amazed at all the unique colors that the sun produces at such an hour... i love the night and wish i could live nocturnally and not feel odd...
i personally am a day person i like to look up and gaze at beautiful green bright trees and bright blue sunny sky filled with clouds, as for sensei bebop he is a different story
The last time I did was about a week ago. I hadn't done it for years...despite spending a night every week in a cemetery for a good 2 months when I was with my ex.....but of all those times I never had the oppurtunity to look up actually concentrate on the sky, I was too busy trying to keep track of him, or keep his hands off me...he was a real bastard, lucky for me I lef thim because he was getting abusive...anyway...
The last time I looked at the sky though....I remember nobody being online, and the night being especially quiet, no family arguing, no IM alerts, no "tak-tak-tak" sounds from my fingers working furiously at my keyboard chattering my life away online...I'd made myself a nice cup of coffee, sat down with my sketchbook, and somehow my gaze drifted towards my window, the moon had caught my eye. It seemed especially clear. Something felt off, I think it's that the sky seemed extra black for some reason but I found myself looking out my window a good hour and a half and just thinking about what my friends were doing, what Raven was doing, if he had managed to sleep that night.
I was up doing this from about 2:30 am-4:00 am.... It would be really nice if my life was a little less hectic so I could do this more often. It's something theraputic about it, not once did I think of my depression or anything pertaining to my problems, perhaps because of the silence, I didn't have all of my problems being thrown in my face. Come to think of it, I'm going to try to do this again tonight, if circumstance will allow.
oh i live in california and last night was beautiful the bright night sky cleaned by the non stop rains and thier were bright stars and bright full moon a true blessing.
