Strokes of brilliance

"I think the key word is awe. That sense of awe keeps drawing me back to the sky. This is, for me, a religious experience. Dave Ross took a wonderful quote from Joseph Campbell, which he used to introduce "Shadows of the Night":

'The purpose of a ritual or body of myth is to awaken in the individual a sense of awe and participation in the inscrutable mystery of being'

But that is what the sky does for me on some deep, un-plumbable level."

p.s the above text was borrowed from the blog of a guy who used to work in a planetarium, and was slightly edited to suit what i had in mind.
