Evening. The sun has set. The remains of its warm glow have given way to the deep blue of the night. There is not a cloud in the sky, nor a whisper of wind. Nothing disturbs the horizon vying for our attention.

We are in a perfect, limitless amphitheater. The water’s smooth, gently undulating surface perfectly reflects the stars. The horizon is an indistinct blur vaguely suggesting a transition from sea to sky.

We feel as if we are floating on a sea of stars.

The moon boasting of its fullness tonight, rose with a gentle, golden glow. Higher now, it has turned an almost blinding platinum in the dark night. Only the most confident stars are visible beyond its glow. Below it, leads a shimmering path across the ocean. Perhaps leading to infinity on such a night, in such a place.

We can only feel honored and at the same time humbled in being here.
