last night as i was outside, i felt the light reflected by the moon on my face. it was so bright and so beautiful- staring into it i was mesmerized by it's glow...the whole yard was illuminated by it's power. here i am outside..close to midnight and it is like a whole other day in a strange land. the trees looked more alive than i ever remember seeing them... there was something emotionally comforting about this heavenly scene...i felt empowered by the night. my attention was drawn to a small flicker of light..it was a pinpoint of light against the dark sky..although my surrounding were very well lit by the night's guardian... the sky was so dark...this small light...a star...was calling out to me... trying to tell me something...as it would hide behind a cloud..i caught myself waiting patiently for it to show itself again....it would flicker to it's brightest then back behind the cloud....at this point, if you were to look up you would never even know this star existed...this realization shook my soul....i felt a connection so strong to this (as i could see it) little star- surrounded by the entire night....whispers into my ear said" we are this little light" ....i felt this statement throughout my entire being.....we have the power to shine so bright, we can attract the attention of others, if we allow our inner light to shine...we can mesmerize our fellow human beings with our glow- this is a HUGE responsibility...because with our soul shining we are allowing GOD himself to be evident to others through ourselves...sharing our light..but when the clouds surround us we are invisible to this act...it is like we are not even there...of course the star was behind the clouds- that doesn't change, but if we can not see his light how can we appreciate it.....the same is with us...we can get caught up in the clouds that encircle us...we can get so caught up in the storm it becomes us...and what i mean by this is we begin to let the clouds define us...others only see our clouds and hardly ever even a dim light hiding behind them...they cannot see our true selves, and we do not either.realizing we are all the same, we are all light, we are all connected- with clouds or without....by knowing this- and i do mean KNOW...break through your clouds....let your little light shine as it was intended....clouds will come and go, but the light will always be...even in the darkness of night it will be...thank you little star, for your twinkle and thank GOD for shining through you....
