The night sky holds such beautiful mysteries. From a young age we are encouraged to "wish upon a star," a distant mass of light twinkling and existing both in the present and the past.
Several years ago, I spent a summer working at a summer stock theatre in a tiny town in New Hampshire. It was lovely and slightly isolated there, and the Milky Way was visible on any clear night.
That is also where I saw my first (and second!) shooting star.
God created the infinite heavens and the Earth, and our understanding of both is still so finite. But I believe God made these beautiful mysteries for a reason - it's what hopes and dreams are built upon.
