Big Dipper Tent Goodnight
I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.
I usually post in the mornings but tonight I’m making an exception for the Big Dipper. It was rising over my tent tonight and I thought you’d enjoy seeing it.
I know you’ve got a lot on your mind, decisions to make, voices to listen to and voices to silence. If you’re up late and reading this, I hope this starry night calms your mind and helps you sleep. If you’re reading this first thing in the morning, I hope it gets your day started right.
Good night from Fort Robinson, Nebraska.

Thanks Bernie. We can almost always see the dipper unless the cloud cover rolls in off the Pacific. I often watch the night sky, think of people and animals who have left us and feel them not so far away.
Hi Todd. Lovely thought. I, too, wonder about what others are doing as I stare at the Big Dipper. Mostly I think of my wife Julia. When we’re on the farm, most every night during late check, we stare in to the heavens and ponder.
