Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

The Nighttime Sky
@HOME. I should be in bed but my Mother is getting in today, so I wanted to finish getting the house cleaned up. I know she doesn't expect everything to be perfect, but I just feel better knowing it is :-)
I was just about to head to bed after finishing up when I decided to sit outside by the pool for a few minutes for a moment of solitude and to enjoy the beautiful Arizona fall evening temperature. I looked up in the sky and was amazed, almost speechless at how bright the stars were tonight. I couldn't help staring up in the sky at each and every glittering star. In some small way it makes me feel content to know there is this huge unexplored space out there and we're just one small, tiny, insignificant part of it all. It makes you realize that sometimes you just have to sit back, relax and enjoy the stars because this life passes us by so quickly you just might miss it. Lastly, to me looking at the stars also brings to mind the simple and age-old question ... we can't be the only ones out there, can we? I believe if you can look up at the vastness of it all and have the arrogance to think that we're the only ones out there then you really better consider opening up your mind a bit more, because I'd hate for you to be surprised for what the future possibly holds.
Alright I'm off to bed as I have to head to the airport early. Cheers!
I love to watch the stars, espcially when you can almost reach out and touch them.

Oh I know the feeling you described, so well Rich! One of my favourite Tarot cards in my deck is a picture of a woman sitting looking at the stars and the Universe, and it's all about being a part of the whole Big Picture.... love it!
Have a terrific visit with your mom Rich, and say hi for me (she's probably around my age, lol)
