My husband and I started doing stargazing as our spiritual practice three years ago and it was this beautiful shared thing, but now he's gotten so into the technical equipment and apps that he spends the whole time adjusting his telescope while I'm just sitting there wanting to feel connected to something bigger than us. We're both out there under the same sky but we're having completely different experiences and I don't know how to bring the wonder back.
