Earth Day & International Dark Sky Week

"Darkness is important for all of the living beings that share this planet.... Darkness is also important for our emotional and spiritual well-being. In the quiet of the night, we are given a break from daytime stimulation, allowing us to focus inward and listen to our Creator’s voice. If we are fortunate enough to view it, the starry night sky against a dark backdrop offers a sense of abundance, often diminished elsewhere on our planet by human activity."
