“You – you alone will have the stars as no one else has them…In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You – only you – will have stars that can laugh.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El Principito
I consider myself fortunate to have stars that laugh, cry and love…each one lit by people who have touched my being at one time or another. Aleister Crowley channeled that “Every man and woman is a star” and so I believe that they are.. Stellar beings who light up our sky and who’s orbit we are fortunate enough to be able to find ourselves in for moments or lifetimes…
The above may sound corny to some. But still it seems in our day to day existence it becomes so easy to look down on people, suspect their motives and otherwise belittle them if only in our own minds…but if we can see them and ourselves as stars burning brightly through the heavens then even the ones who irritate us, the ones who piss us off continuously become something magnificent
It might not make it easier to like them or what they represent but it lends perspective.
Thanks as always 🙂
