Stargazing: A Primer

“And I’m there, lookin’ up at the sky,
and I’m scared, thinkin’ ’bout the way that I don’t understand anything at all,
how it overtakes me,
and I’m just so small,
do I stand a chance?”
The Flaming Lips, “It Overtakes Me”

If Nightwalking is isolation (and disconnectedness), and Daytalking is anticipation (and connection, community), then the third part of the trilogy is Stargazing.
