It baffles me how much history and culture has taken place on this floating rock.
I look at the stars and think of how small I am,
how many splendid eyes have gazed upon
the same constellations,
consulting them to
brave oceans and
trade silk and
greet young kings.
It was Your heavens
that inspired them.
Will you find me, too?
In the night of my need?
And will I let you guide me to
new and strange lands?
