It's a shame I can't upvote this post, I enjoyed it so much.
I love the stars and I think it's because I grew up in London where, like you said, I only got to see the brightest stars. Now, all I need do is step outside into my garden on a cloudless night and look up.
I then know why people believe in Heaven. <3
Just the fact that you commented on it means so very much! We were just finding our footing at the time Scott wrote this. I love when he writes the photo essays too.
:D
