thoughts during star gazing

yesterday, a nice celestron telescope was set up in the roof of my hostel and we were observing the heavenly bodies,,, by heavenly i mean really heavenly,,, they were nothing like i've seen before,,,, really amazing...
as i was observing the stars , mars , saturn and the moon my mind was running really wild with thoughts.,,
just looking at the sky and the horizon which extends till infinity in our point of view make us fell very insignificant too small,,
and suddenly we somehow get inspired by the vastness and the calmness,,, somehow we feel we have to do something in life,,,
or sometimes we just get absorbed in nature's beauty and keep looking at it and feel happy,,,
as i was watching the stars the same train of thoughts were coming into my mind,,, but as we started watching farther and more beautiful objects i sensed a different kind of feeling,,,
every star and every planet was unique in some sense,,,
even though we just see a tiny white spot on the thick black blanket somehow we can distinguish them, call them by their name, some of them are very significant and special , some are a part of great constellations and the rest or just stray stars which we dont bother about much,,,
and though mars and saturn just look like stars we can distinguish and spot them pretty easily so i felt the same appiles with us,,,
even though we are just a tiny segment of this world we still stand unique in our own sense some of us are too well known , some of us are well known as a group and the rest of us are unique in our own respect,,,
somehow there is always a point of distinction be it our skills or our characteristics or our behaviour or even the choice of words we use and the type of humour we like,,,
its simply amazing how distinct we are like fingerprints,,, we say a man can be identified by his unique fingerprint but sometimes we fail to realise a man himself is unique

Gods creations are truly amazing,,,, they are simply fascinating,,, and the way He plays around with His creations are even more amazing,,,

erm this post is totally arbit i agree,,, but i felt like sharing my thoughts so i posted it,,, sorry if i've bored you...

Its nice to see you write exactly the way you think. (Disorganized arbit ;) ).. I'm just kidding. Lovely piece of writing da. It was like reading the poetry of one's mind. Basically felt very good after reading it..
