Black Sky Moment

I just had a moment that totally reminded me of the blue sky moment that I had quite a while ago, only this time, rather than a blue sky seeping into me, it was a black sky - with all of it's beautiful stars shining down on me. They were so clear, I was taken aback - and I just stood there with my head back for a couple of minutes. And then, just as I felt when the blue sky moment occured, I felt peace upon my soul and I knew that everything is going to be OK. It's not that I had a particularly difficult night. In fact, I had a really good night - and a good day for that matter, but there are times when God just taps you on the shoulder and reminds you that He's there, He's watching over you, and everything is going to be OK.

I'm really grateful for my black sky moment, because it served as a reminder to me that there are many things in my life that have never changed and will never change. As I looked up at the stars tonight, I saw the same stars that I saw as a child when my older sister pointed out the big dipper for me. The same stars that I wished upon. The same stars that I threw my heart out to. Oh how I love nature and its constantly adapting yet never really changing nature . . . Just as we should be. Although my life has taken me many places and I've fought many battles, my soul is still intact. My soul is still the same one that felt the power of those stars years ago. I can learn to constantly adapt to what the world hands me, but my soul, my spirit, who I really am . . . that has never changed. That part of me remains exactly as it was when my Maker gave me life. Wow. What a difference a star makes, eh?
