Sleeping Under the Stars

Do you like the stars?  Since I was young, I have enjoyed looking at a dark sky with twinkling stars.

Some people feel small and insignificant when they view the vast expanse of stars.  I feel connected.  As though I’m part of the grand universe.  My own little star blinking back “Hi there!”

I see myself dancing among the stars.

I even sleep under the stars.  In our house, we have half plantation shutters on our windows so the night sky is visible from the top.  On a dark night, the stars say “Good night.”

I also have a blanket of stars on the ceiling that sparkle in the dark.  I painted them with a special paint and technique.  A visible hug.

To me, stars are a confirmation that I’m connected to everyone I love—all under the same sky.
