Star Gazing

When is the last time you took a moment to look up on a clear night to see stars and make a wish? Back home we had very minimal light pollution when surrounded by farm fields as far as the eyes could see. This allowed the stars to be super bright and the sky a deep blue. The best nights where the cool nights on a blanket in the grass listening to classical or show tunes from the latest Disney animated movie. Every time I saw a falling star, I made a wish and wondered where it was going so fast. Was the object in the sky on a special mission, had it lost its ability to stay in the sky or was it a signal to others in another world.

Enhanced by the music the stars became a story in the sky. Sometimes new galaxies with a host of interesting creatures. Other times they were guardians made of people, pets and things that used to reside on earth that shined at night to let me know that they were protecting the world from up high. Either way it brought to light new thoughts of the possibilities of the unknown.

I knew the scientific side of the stars, but found it more fun to make up my own adventures and theories. Allowing creative energy to flow in a not so exciting country life.

If you don't create your own adventures, then what do you have to share with the world or to remember your own life?
