I have the windows open today. I remember, when I was 15 years old, running a long wire antenna out the open window of my bedroom in the warm weather. At night, you couldn't see the far end. I would tune in stations from all over the Earth on my shortwave radio. It gave me a sense of connection to the world. The world didn't know I was listening, but I did. The magnitude of that was majestic, but imposing.
It was just a long wire, stretched out into the darkness, listening to the world.
