Under The Stars

When you walk under the stars in the early morning…quiet and serene… have you ever stopped to wonder about all the things those stars have seen? In all the years they've hovered over us…as well as every mountain… every sea think of all that they have witnessed…every joy…every tragedy. Think of all the plans they've seen made…some wonderful…some misbegotten. Think of all the dreams they've seen come true…and all the other ones forgotten. Think of all the love they've seen shared…before each life is through. think what it must be like for them to witness all the hatred too. I wonder if we really understand how the stars have been watching us… from the moment our first breath is drawn… and how they will be watching…long after we are gone. And since they share with us their stardust from the moment of our birth… shouldn't we try to be more like the stars in our time upon the Earth? To live knowing everyone we see is our sister and our brother… to glow as bright we can glow…and shed our light on one another. In the short time we are here…in this life that we are notching… shouldn't we try to glow as pure and bright as we can glow… knowing all the stars are watching.
