Under a Starry Sky

The sisters in the quote below could be my sister and I. Reading it made me yearn our childhood years, when we actually walked back alone from the river during the night, in the darkness, crickets being our only company...

 “There were once two sisters who were not afraid of the dark because the dark was full of the other's voice across the room, because even when the night was thick and starless they walked home together from the river seeing who could last the longest without turning on her flashlight, not afraid because sometimes in the pitch of night they'd lie on their backs in the middle of the path and look up until the stars came back and when they did, they'd reach their arms up to touch them and did.” ― Jandy Nelson, The Sky is Everywhere

[Había una vez dos hermanas que no tenían miedo de la oscuridad, porque la oscuridad estaba llena de la voz de la otra al otro lado de la habitación, porque incluso cuando la noche era densa y sin estrellas volvían a casa juntas desde el río, jugando a quién aguantaba más tiempo sin encender la linterna, sin temor a tumbarse de espaldas en medio del camino a tumbarse de espaldas hasta que el volvían las estrellas, y cuando lo hacían, alzaban las manos para tocarlas, y las tocaban - Jandy Nelson, The Sky is Everywhere]
