They must have been super-excited at the beginning of the journey.
Packing the bags, double-checking their mile long ‘bring-along’ list, securing the valuables, loading up. Energized by the promise of an epic adventure awaiting them made the teary good-byes and the skeptics' looks more bearable.
Somebody said that the call of God is like the call of the
sea— no one hears it except the person who has the nature of the sea in him. For
them it was the call of the starry sky… It came as the bright Star - star
like no other.
They recalled the first time they spotted it on the ever-changing yet almost painfully predictable dark-blue velvet. Some called them the star-gazers – the dreamers, but they were simply mesmerized by what their heavenly science was both hiding and revealing. The vastness and proportions. The empty and the beauty. The depth of the unknown. The face-off of the endless boring with the eternal glory. But, when they first
saw it, they knew they were onto something.
Something really big - even by astronomers' measurements.
Only 'the big' wasn't just 'out-there'. It also awakened something they didn't know existed, buried deep inside, that grew and grew filling their minds and souls, consuming them from the inside out. They knew
they had to follow.
It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime, or rather, once-in-many-a-lifetime opportunities. The
culmination of everything that they were and their lives' work - intersecting
with cosmic history-in-the-making.
When destiny knocks on your door, ignoring isn't an option.

None of us ever does when we say ‘yes’ to the call.
They had to trust that the One who started them on this journey will be there not only at the end of it, but every inch along the way.
