Significance
On a still but misty sandy sea shore; On one sleepless and sorry sorry night,
I looked up into the bright stary stary sky. Immediately, my eyes became fixated upon
a single star, and delightfully, I waved to say, "Hi". As if aghast at my greeting, it back away and said, "Bye".
At first I felt estranged from such impoliteness; and the the star's indifference triggered within me a quiet sigh.
But in a flash, I bounced back from my bewildered emotion! And feeling a loving embrace, I set aside my compulsion to cry.
That was when I realized that I was more than an insignificant me on a sorry sorry night, but was also a very loved one deeply entrenched
in the grand scheme of things. I had connected and interacted with a star in a galaxy so far far away in the distant universe. When I observed
that the inanimate star could not relate to me, I rediscoved my own significance, the acceptance of me, my own relevance, my own connection.
Embraced by the love of God, we remember that He sits above, below, and all around His vast universe, never losing sight of us, nor a falling sparrow.
