(This recipe has been passed down in my family through the ages... it's just as good now as it was 1,000 years ago.)
Wonder and Awe
Ingredients:
- 1 scheduled meteor shower or comet (see the calendar at the bottom of this page)
- 1 clear night, no haze or cloud cover
- 1 early setting or late rising moon
- 1 meadow, field, clearing or yard away from night lights or ambient light pollution
- 1 (or more, as needed) large tarp or blanket
- 1 or more people with appropriately rated sleeping bags or quilts(must be willing to endure lumpy ground)
Procedure:
1. After checking the calendar, gather all ingredients and proceed to the meadow, field, clearing or yard.
2. Turn off all technological forms of interference.. block them from your mind.
3. Spread tarp or blanket(s) on ground.
4. If the ground is level, arrange the people like spokes on a wheel, heads toward the hub. Alternately if the meadow is sloping, arrange like sardines, side-by-side, with heads uphill. (If the night air is cool-to-cold, tightly packed sardines is a more appropriate method.)
5. Maintain a broad viewing horizon with a broad focus.
6. Relax, be filled with wonder and awe.
7. Drink it in deeply and enjoy.
