I have experienced a similar feeling lying quietly on a beach looking up at the stars. Your words describe it better than any other words I've ever read.
I wonder why I haven't pursued it again after all these years. It would just require driving a few hours out of town, nothing too crazy. Like another commenter here mentioned, it would be good for all of us, especially we who work in front of screens all day, to do this more often.
EDIT: Your username is excellent haha.
