A star is placed in the sky when each of us is born. It is all the things we can be, the brightest version of us.
Life breaks and makes us but somewhere up there we are always brilliantly complete-whole-enough-perfect.
My sky may seem dark and starless but I know I am up there (and so are you) shining without anything diminishing us.
I love reading these in my head. Feeling the words... (and so are you) shining I keep realizing how essential the reader is to these poems. Thank you for being here with me.
