Like the Stars, Shine With Your Own Light

by Mishi McCoy

How many of us, even as adults, are consoled by the childhood lullaby that goes, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are?” How many of us still sing it with childlike wonder and curiosity; yet, in actuality, have mysteriously known the answer all along? We just didn’t know how to show or prove how we, by sweet intuition, knew that we knew. As a result, we have remained forever in love with the stars. We have wished upon them with hearts of hope and intrigue.

Have you ever wondered why it is that we, as humans, are drawn to look into the night sky and fall under hypnotic wonder as we gaze at the stars? Is it because we feel as we observe the stars that we not only experience a calming sense of wonder and awe, but that it is something deeper? Is it possible that we sense a kindred feeling of ancient loved ones in these atoms made of the same particles as we are?

As we examine the stars, they often feel too far out of reach, yet we aren’t able to deny the sense of being touched by them in an intimate way beyond description. Do you feel as I do? That as you set your sight intently upon a star, it gazes right back at you in acknowledgement of recognition of you as well. To set our sights upon the stars is a feeling of being at home. It is a sense of belonging to something greater than us, yet a kindred sense of ourselves.

Have you considered that we have studied the stars and their alignments, known as constellations, for eons seeking answers, direction, purpose and guidance? Even now in the study of astrology, we seek answers and understanding in the alignment of the stars and the planets. Many of us check our astrology report daily to see what our future holds in areas of our relationships, moods, and finances.
