I am Star.  Now that you are all grown up, you never wish on me.  Now that science has explained, you know I'm just another sun.

          I am Star.  It's true that I'm a sun--or that your sun is a Star.  But where does that knowledge really get you?  Does it explain the Mystery?

          I am Star.  I number in the millions.  I give off light and heat.  I die.  That is what your science teaches.

          I am Star. I light the night sky above your Earth.  I light the night sky above many other worlds.  My light reaches out.  My energy binds the Universe together.

          I am Star.  I am energy.  I am Life.  I give Life.  I illuminate the way.  I make you look beyond yourself.  I make you question your pat assumptions.  I make you reach beyond yourself.

          I am Star.  I call you to the center.  I answer your question:  No, you are not alone.  How could you think you were?

          I am Star.  Leave your small world and join the Universe.  Come dance and sing among the stars.  Ride my energy paths to distant places.  Learn of life in all its phases.

          I am Star.  Look on me and see your destiny.
