37 Chiswick Road turned off their lights, and darkened London.
The day wasn’t unusual. We’d talked about spreadsheets and TV and gone home.
But then the lights went out. First that house, then their neighbours, then their street, until the dark spread from Twickenham to Epping.
And we looked up, and saw the stars.
It was just for 5 minutes, but in those 5 minutes we saw what the city had hidden. More than we could understand, across distances we couldn’t imagine.
The next day, we didn’t talk about spreadsheets, and we didn’t talk about TV.
We talked about exploring.
