Two hours before an October dawn, I walked to the exercise center. For some reason, I glanced up and was surprised by the closeness, clearness and the multiplicity of the stars! Transfixed in the street I gazed upward at the Big Dipper, the Little Dipper, Orion and all the glittering stars in between. Mouth opened; arms stretched; body slowly turning, turning to gaze, spellbound. This sight brought crowding thoughts:
To not stumble means
not taking the risk to be
surprised by the stars
If I am transfixed
by Christ’s powerful light, then
the stumbling blocks that
clamor for my attention
will not be so important
On the other hand,
to stand in the middle of
the street looking up
means I can get splattered by
oncoming traffic, and so…
There has to be a
happy medium in life
God knows I must care
for my body, for my work,
my family, government…
But God does expect
me to look up and notice
Him throughout the day
and take some time each week to
praise His glory with others

The stars make me smile
They make me dream, imagine,
get out of myself

Whatever… it was
a magnificent thing to
see the universe tho’
for a short five minutes

Heaven’s are so impressive! So nice when one can get away from the city lights to view them!
Yes, and it was as if I couldn’t get enough of it!
