instant cousin

[corvi]

I'm not sure I'll ever again feel as much instant kinship with anyone as I do with "Ryan T," who joined juli and I to watch a pale greenish meteor explode over the Pacific Ocean in the wee hours of a clear morning in early August. Insomniacs Watching A Burning Space Rock Together is a way better sense of belonging and connection than I've ever gotten from any cultural, vocational, internet, or political groups of which I am a member. Whee!

I think I also saw this exploding space rock, but I thought it was a plane. Bah!

I am sorry to have missed that one. Saw just one big green rock come in, many years ago on a full moon night in the Okanagon, whilst driving an oterwise-unremarkable stretch of Highway 97.

Those moments of connection are wonderful, no matter how they come about. :)

Sometimes I wonder if hardcore extroverts like yourself feel the joy I get from Sharing A Space Rock all the time. :)

I don't know! It would be interesting to be able to brain swap and see. Does the joy dull with repetition? Some do, some don't.
