I am in that space between going and coming, between car and home.

My mind is full of of the future… plans, hopes, and worries.

The stillness of the night pulls me into the present.

I look up.

I see the stars.

I feel like I am shrinking, smaller and smaller as I take the expanse of the night sky.

I feel like withdrawing into myself, who am I in compared to all this?

The universe is so beautiful.

Then a small voice speaks up.

You are a part of this.

You belong here.

You are beautiful.

I feel myself pushing out from this smallness I confined myself in.

I am expanding to fill the night sky.

I am one with the stars and the space between them.

I am aware of the world around me.

It is pulsing with life, love, pain, and beauty.

I am aware of the world within me.

It is pulsing with life, love, pain, and beauty.

We are the world.

We are life.

We are love.

We are pain.

We are beautiful.
