Went for a run on the beach in Perranporth this evening. At the start of the run I was pelted my hail stones - which stung. The sky then cleared up in large patches and these patches were filled with stars.It is not normal for me to think too much about the 'universe' but tonight I was. I do not generally have much admiration for space travel - feeling that the money/ effort could be 'better applied sorting out this planet' but as I gazed at the night sky I could understand the pull of unknown.
As a plane's lights mingled with the stars I also had a feeling of wonder at what man had achieved (technologically).
I was just beginning to think of trying to draft a poem when I splashed into a knee deep 'moat' that was surrounding an exposed rock at flat rocks. I then hit said rock with shins and knees.
Could not assess extent of any cuts until I got back into street lite area and was then pleased to see some blood - which I could show off to Julie. Her response was 'properly looks worse than it is' - which was factually correct.
Wind is howling out there now - cycle in tomorrow is going to be fun!

You should not try to multi task, star gazing and running are both complex tasks in their own right. If you really feel a strong urge to have profound thoughts I suggest you sit down quietly somewhere.
