The same stars

The Royal Greenwich Observatory was opened today in 1675. I like the idea that there are places where people study stars. I grew up on a farm in the countryside and so some times I'd look at the sky and the stars would be really clear. It was as if they want on forever.  Now that I'm away from my family and living in the city, when I look at the stars sometimes, maybe there aren't so many but all the same it's comforting to see even a few. When I see them I think of my family because I like to think that we all sleep under the same stars and so we're all linked no matter where we are. They serve as yet another sign that people I love are always with me.
