Earth Hour party for one Part 3

The more you look at the stars the more stars you can see.

I went out onto the veranda, but couldn't really see the sky from there. I braved the trecherous, apparently snake-ridden back yard and found a clearing where I could tilt my head right back and look up. It hurt a little bit after a while, but it was worth it. I saw one shooting star within about 5 mintues. I might have seen another one, but I was getting confused between shooting stars and bats.

It was cooler outside.

As I was looking up I had the realisation that I am certainly not the only person in the world looking up pensively at the stars at this very moment. There are many others. And then I realised that I am also probably not the only person in the world realising that I'm not the only person in the world looking up pensively at the stars at this very moment. And then I thought that maybe there's someone imagining ME, out in the desert, looking up at the stars all by myself, just like I was imagining someone sitting next to the harbour bridge, and on a beach, and sitting on top of a car on a farm, looking up at the stars.
