we passed some road kill on our way to venus

you know when you live in the city for a certain time, you forget life outside, you forget how ethereal everything is without cement or concrete. you forget a place of never ending plains, deep forests, and clear skies painted in the realest of blues. somehow this reminded me of when i went to central australia. on my first night there, i looked up at the sky and fell into this melodic state. never in my life have i seen so many stars, they just looked like galaxies layered on top of each other. pretty much amazing.
