Last night I placed my protractor set at 90 degrees on my
stick and sighted up it.
It pointed directly at the north star. It was what I
expected to find but amazed when it actually worked.
I find it comforting to have something in my backyard that
seems nicely aligned with our solar system and the universe.
For my whole life I have seen sunrises and sunsets, summers
and winters and looked up at the sun and stars countless
times and it looked like nice, but none-the-less, a
confusing mess of moving lights.
Now I can grasp it, at least the basics.
I have the feeling that my stick is in balance and harmony
with things much, much bigger than myself. I can start to
understand why our ancestors gave their sky markers
spiritual significance; Stonehenge, Machu Pichu, etc.
I feel like I am properly aligned with the universe now, and
that makes me feel good.
