A Most Sobering Thought Gazing across the dark blue sky seemingly a picturesque scene, realizing though not all is of nature, for some of what appears as brilliant stars worth taking notice of are in reality man made machines. Ages ago in much the same way someone as I looked up to the sky’s so breath taking and pleasing to the soul and saw as I the brilliance of the stars and in amazement was pleased with awe inspiring joy knowing that this sight that was transporting his every dream to the highest point in mans ability to see with human imperfection would never give way to nothing upon the face of the earth. Oh what this man would think of if he were to be here and know in mind what the human race has done to the very same heavens that posses all of mans desires, hopes and prayers that have been uttered in earnest and pleading motivation. For what have we done to the one thing that touches all of mankind in heart, mind and soul so very fervently. For what man has not looked to the stars at least once in his life time and not given thanks or heart felt prayer in his or someone else's behalf. A most sobering thought indeed.

Hi everyone, Thank you for your kind words, I was just starring up at the stars and it was clear enough to see that alot of what looked like stars were really to me space JUNK and it is really sad to know that there will soon be more floating JUNK up there than real stars. We should in need to just look to enjoy or to pray or even share thoughts with someone be able to totally enjoy something like the stars RIGHT. Love, Cerenity |
