Stars at night
are always changing
and always rotating
and always moving
and this crazy little planet
that we've named Earth
is a cosmic speck of dust
that somehow is perfect
for sustaining our lives.

And what's even crazier
is that on that speck,
all of us are more than just survivorsβ€”
we found beauty and passion
and love, in a lot of different ways.
And then we noticed those stars
millions of lightyears away
and decided to find art in those, too.

And in our little corner
of this great big universe,
people are connecting the dots
and creating their own constellations
over cups of coffee and shared laughter
and even a few tears sometimes.
So that's what we've done,
we made our own sky pictures
a lot closer to our hearts and minds.

And the three of us,
we drew Orion.

In all the motion
and the exploding supernovas
and everything that happens
around us,
we're the three things
that have always stayed
and will always stay
perfectly aligned
and in sync with each other
through everything that happens.

And it doesn't matter at all
what else tries to get between us,
cause we're the only three
that will always be constant
and by each others' sides forever
no matter how many other stars
explode around us.
To India and Sophia
