"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." (Genesis 1:16, KJV)
Love how it says, "he made the stars also" like its an afterthought. "Oh, by the way, the 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 100 sextillion+ stars that exist, I made those too." How cool is that?
We take for granted the stars. In the middle of the day when the sky is blue, they're there. In the middle of a light polluted night, they're still shining brightly. They shine despite our ability to appreciate them, completely count them, to really know them. That knowledge fills me with reverence and make me feel small and honored and lucky.
We have to get away to see the stars but truly seeing them can help us get back all we've sometimes lost. xo
