Rites of Passage

Have you ever gone out of your path
To drive to a far off place
just to look up at night
and see the clusters of stars
that form our side of the Milky Way

Have you ever laid down on the beach
looking up at a clear midnight sky
and have felt like just another
grain of sand

So small
that you feel the crushing force of gravity
but yet so full of power
so full of pride
You can feel your chest expand
to fight it

I did.
And after that, everything changed.
Life.
Myself.

Do it, and you'll see what I mean.
