When you have a very questioning five year old tools like wikipedia become very useful to quickly pull up answers to questions about water spouts and sperm whales, that quite frankly I don't have a clue about. Well the latest discovery I have made is that the meteor shower we saw last night actually has a name - geminids. Meteors from what is thought to be an extinct comet can usually be seen at this time of year and it turns out that being in the middle of the ocean is like a front seat view.
Imagine being in the middle of the ocean. It is very dark, there is no light pollution as no land is in sight. Imagine a million stars all twinkling over your head. Now imagine that every few seconds or every minute or two one just shoots across the sky. Awesome.
Brings to mind this song:
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
[Indescribable by Chris Tomlin]
