The end of a phone call is when the room you are in comes back into focus. The end of a holiday is the first proper conversation about the year ahead. The end of a meeting is when the actual decision is made, in the corridor, by two people on either side of a coffee machine. The end of a book is when the silence gets to do its work. Endings are doors. We just keep calling them endings out of habit.
A single dune in the high desert at three in the morning, lit only by the centre of the galaxy. The sand is cool and the air is dry and the stars do not blink. The dune is the last solid thing for a while. Above the line of the ridge, about two hundred billion stars, a few of which are doing the lighting tonight.
A natural fit for Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard, or any book read on a night when your eyes have started to find things in the dark.
There are still places on the planet dark enough to remember why people once feared the night. The sky is not a backdrop, it is a structure. You can see the bulge of the galactic core. You can see dust lanes. You can see, for a few seconds at a time, why every culture that ever lived under a sky like this built stories around it. The work is to stand outside for long enough to let your eyes finish adjusting, and then to stay one minute longer.
