The Lesson of the Night Sky

I gaze across the night sky

And wonder why

So many things

But mostly

How does one not wonder?

Not feel like just a number

But rather a member

Of a world full of lights

And a universe full of life

All shining on Earth each night

Twinkling

Streaking

And sparkling

Sometimes loud

But mostly quietly

Just passing celestial love notes

Messages delivered via the Holy Ghost

For all of us to know

Invitations from our Heavenly Host

To join with them

In joyous celebration

For this universe that is the Lord’s creation

Where we begin

And after death our destination

To live the whole thing

Walk the circumference of the Dharma ring

Learn, love, and loose everything

Just the Lord’s instructions for all Human Beings

Forget your title

And your career

Even all your loved ones you hold dear

God’s got plans for you

And they can’t wait to tell you

So come outside tonight

Stand and gaze up at the starlight

Listen

And hear God you just might
