I don't mind wearing glasses since I've always loved things to do with lenses. Binoculars, kaleidoscopes and most recently, telescopes. There's just something about staring at the sky. Things look pretty from far away, but up close there's always something else - some hidden shadow or aspect missed. Since stars are so far away, it takes sometimes up to 2 million years for the light to reach us. Some celestial bodies are so far away that by the time the light reaches us, the actual stars no longer exist. All we're seeing are the ancient memories of a mythical land - phantom projections of an abandoned message in a bottle. I don't know why but I feel sad when I think about it.
