As humans we are always reaching for the stars,
searching for an all-mighty power.
In stretching for eternity,
we often miss the life of the man
sent to take away our sins
and show us the love of God.
The very one who breathed
the stars to which we look.

In a world screaming at us to be the same
I want to celebrate being different.
My dear friends,
don't let anyone ever talk you into being the same.
Your difference is what makes you unique.
And what so many people are looking for today
is someone who is uniquely different.
Your perspective,
Your creativity,
are yours alone.
No one in the world sees things the way you can,
if you choose.

The rain dripped from the tall trees,
pattering onto her dark hood,
rolling to land on her nose
making her sneeze.
Her boots squished in the wet needles at her feet.
