30 Day Blogging Challenge Prompt 3




The tintinnabulation of the church bell marked the beginning of a perfect night as the scent of moonflowers swirled around us on a refreshing zephyr. As we snuggled against each other for warmth, Zak spent the next hour pointing out various celestial wonders. The longer he talked, the more animated he became. To see him so excited and blissful caused my heart to swell with pride and my eyes to swell with tears. In the middle of his chaotic teenage world, I witnessed him experiencing a childlike joy he had forgotten was possible. As he explained astronomy terms his sapphire colored eyes were focused on the great unknown of the vast universe and his stutter disappeared. For an hour, he let me into his world.

As I began to describe the wonderful night my nephew and I spent stargazing from the roof, I realized it had nothing to do with our surroundings and everything to do with us.
