Not sure if anyone's noticed but these three planets have been very visible for the past few weeks with the naked eye, especially Mars and Jupiter. Mars is the closest it's been...since 2007, I think it was. And I don't know why, but when I look up at the planets, I don't feel small and insignificant like I used to when I looked up into space. Somehow, the fact that I can see them, especially Mars, I feel like it's right there. Or right here. And I feel connected to it, like I'm just as much there as it is here.
I don't mean it in a mystical way. I'm not sure. It's just a feeling. It's like when I see a mountain off in the distance. It's far away, and if I tried to walk towards, it, it would seem far. And yet, it's right there. I can see it.
