Current forecast at my house for Wednesday night is cold and partly cloudy.  I've marked my calendar.

I just went out.  It is clear here, and the night sky is beautiful.  It's also a bit cool, and the wind is blowing; so I didn't stay out long.  But I did see a meteor.  It was but a brief spark; but a spark that connects, that invites, that opens, that allows.

Thank you for the reminder.

I only saw a few last night, but they were quite bright! Bill saw one that I missed that broke up at the end - those are always fun to see.
