Look at the Stars

by Sam Gregory

When’s the last time you looked at the stars?

Not the last time you saw them, or the last time you took a photo.

The last time you sat, doing nothing.
Was it before?

Before you needed something, anything, all the time to occupy your mind.

You distract yourself, fighting boredom rather than embracing it

Passing time until you can’t even answer the question,

When’s the last time you looked at the stars?
