The Night Blessing

A couple nights ago, I was awakened by a whining dog needing to go out to pee.  So I zombie-like took him out, cursing under my breath.  It's 2:30am.  I wait for him outside, and I'm sort of huffing and puffing.  Then I look up. 
Still... Clear.. Dark.... Shadows of red rock mountain...
And stars. 
Stars.
I took a deep breath and felt elated.  
I needed this.
