Stars

I wish I had a camera exceptional enough to capture the stars I’m seeing right now in the night sky. The Big Dipper is right in front of me and a million stars are overhead. Nowhere else but in my hometown have I ever seen so many stars in the sky. No wonder as a child I was fascinated with astronomy. ⭐️⭐️

The constellations, the heavens, the stars in the sky, whatever you want to call them, they give us hope. They give us meaning. They give us a reason to keep believing in something bigger than ourselves.

As a child I was fascinated with the stars. I was the child who my Dad woke up in the middle of the night at 10 years old to see the Milky Way, or the Comet, or the Shooting Stars. I was the child who won a Blue Ribbon in the 6th grade science fair for building a telescope. I’m sure in today’s world it would seem rudimentary, but back in the early ‘70’s, I won a blue ribbon for it.

But more than anything, the stars remind me, I’m Home! ❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️
