Come with me,
come with me
And we shall run across the sky
Illuminate the night
Oh, I will try and guide you
To better times and brighter days
Dont be afraid to go...

Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Up the ladder to the roof
We can be closer to heaven



I don't know what life is. I don't know the meaning of the universe, or the future. But i know now how it feels to simply gaze at the stars all night. To wander the night barefoot, and catch the sun's glorious awakening of the earth.


A bunch of us gathered in Juan's room to watch Spinal Tap, which I'd never seen. We're maybe 40 minutes in, and the fire alarm goes off in Stimson. This is about at 1 am. Everyone rushes out in the bare essentials, me without my money or one - card. Stephan and I get bored of the roll call so we end up meandering off to the Hillel patio and talking. It's now about 2:30 ish and we begin walking around campus to all the crazy outer parts (not that campus iteself is very big, but w/e.) We walk through crazy brush and past the tennis courts and stables. I'd kinda wanted to see the moon, because i remember glancing up and seeing that it had been full. So we were essentially looking for a spot far from the campus light pollution. Once we do find one, its amazing: we spend the night talking and trying to figure out which constellations are where. We're there so long that I suggest waiting until dawn; I've actually heard somewhere that if you have the opportunity to see the sun rise four times in 4 seperate locations, you're leading a good life. What can I say? I'm a sucker for those things. So we wait until the sky turns a different shade of blue, and finally until the first rays of sunlight hit the top layer of cirrus clouds in a a red and yellow haze.

I suggest trying it; its quite a sight behold.
