Aristotle Stares at Starry Night

Every evening I take I walk so that I am able to appreciate what is going on in the world outside of my head. I take this opportunity to observe the ways of the world. Typically, I follow a route into a rather secluded area where I can view nature without being interrupted by human kind, which I have had the opportunity to observe at length during the day. Many evenings I end of staring at the stars for a while. Looking at the night's sky is an interesting thing to observe. It is constantly changing, and yet one would not say that it has many different forms. In the course of my lifetime I have looked upon many beautiful things, and I have come to understand the feelings that come when I view them. Van Gogh painted an image of this sky. He captured its likeness so that I am able to recognize it under the same realm as the sky that I am looking up at tonight. It is just as beautiful as the stars of nature, for their shine appeals to the senses in just the same way.
