Although I'm a white American, I attended high school in the Himalayan foothills of India. One time, when I was 17, we went on a camping trip and slept out under the stars, miles from the middle of nowhere, at an elevation of probably 9,000 feet. It was 1992. I remember lying in my sleeping bag on some hillside, looking up at the Milky Way, and then a meteor shower happened and I saw a dozen shooting stars. I only vaguely understood then what a mystical experience I was having.
