enjoy the birds and watch for the fox. But when the sun went down, he went inside.

　　Lots of kids grow up gazing at the stars, knowing the constellations(星座).

　　Me? I never noticed the stars.

　　In my early childhood, the darkening shadow of evening was the signal that it was time to hightail it home from the park on my bike.

　　Then I met the sky.

　　I saw it the summer before my seventh grade when we took a family trip to Wyoming. In my mental photo album, I feel the mist of Old Faithful, I smell the store where my dad bought a cowboy hat and I shiver in my sleeping bag on the overnight rafting trip down the Snake River.

　　One night, Dad had arranged for us to sleep in a tepee.When the flames died down after our campfire dinner, he kept my little sister,

　　Sara,

　　Mom,

　　and me outside, wrapped us in blankets and told us to look up, wait, and watch.

　　As my eyes adjusted, the stars appeared.

　　The black was filled with white. Dad revealed the universe.

　　Decades later,

　　I

　　crave walks

　　in the

　　woods,

　　I

　　love

　　to

　　sit by a lake for hours, and a sunset mesmerizes(使着迷) me.And everywhere I go, I look up and search for the heaven I saw that night. I haven't yet to see that sky again, so utterly aglow.
