The same sky...

I struggle to last the day without a nap, sleep comes where it comes, but the naps, the naps are are vital. So today's nap took me outside on the lawn. I figured my sinus' were murdering me anyway so balls to it, I'd take a nap outside for the first time this summer. Pre nap I partook, partake, (hmm) in a hobby I like to call "stare at the sky, then stare at the sky again through a lense, then stare at the sky through the gaps in your fingers, then just stare at the sky" (I am working on a more catchy name at present but for now that is what it is affectionately known as)
So whilst staring at the sky. my overactive (but ready for a nap) brain, pondered....

....

I mean we don't really have our own patch of sky...you could never ask a neighbour to move their tree because it was on your patch of sky. Whose to say the patch of sky you're looking at isn't the same patch i'm looking it. I mean, it's up isn't it. So it's all about angles. You may in fact be looking at the exact same patch of sky as I and claiming it as your own. Granted there is plenty of sky to choose from but it's all about the angle you're looking up. Obviously the who hemisphere, longitude, latitude ladeda plays an important role too. But at any given point in time a a mass of people may just be staring at the patch of sky you'd secretly claimed to be yours...just for a short while anyway.
