Full moon

This morning, as I was walking, I felt humbled by the beauty of the full moon and delicacy of the stars. They made me feel so small and insignificant. Well ... I am, comparatively speaking, but it just hit me in a way I'd not felt before.

I wish I had a better vocabulary so that I could express the awe that they inspired in me.

I don't think it's your vocabulary. There just aren't words to express that kind of awe. I've felt it too, especially during those times at Dragon's Revenge when I used to sneak away to "commune with nature". There was something about that location at night, both the big field near the water and the enclosed area at the back of site B, that was just thrilling and magical for me. I felt very small looking out into all that vastness, bathed in moonlight and starlight. And yet, at the same time, it somehow filled me up and made me feel whole and content and at one with the universe. Even now, years later, I can still feel it! Like you, even these words seem inadequate to express what I really felt, but it certainly was inspiring. I'm glad you felt the same way under similar circumstances. :)
