The Hanging City

by Charlie N. Holmberg

I’ve found strength in the night sky when I could find none in humankind,

surely where there is kindness, there is hope for me.

“When I look at the stars, at the universe, I realize how very small I am. And how very small others are. Small people, small problems, and none of it really matters in the great vastness of it all. Somehow, that makes me feel better. Somehow it encourages me to be . . . bigger.”
