Twinkle twinkle little…

stars have such a distance from us that they cannot be romanticized as the moon. They may constitute a visual element to theology, deism, cosmology, even a kind of grand naturalism. But they are too distant from us…we are too distant from them, for them to interact directly into our daily earthly lives. The stars are closer to hopes, beliefs, aspirations…perhaps also to cold despair, nihilism… But they are not an influential aspect of our human lives.
