Night sky with stars and tree, author Michael J. Bennett (BY-SA 3.0 Unported)
Since time immemorial lovers have gazed up at the night sky. But the stars were not created for lovers alone. Many have sought consolation from their distant beauty.
What is it about the stars that speaks to us? Their perfection takes our breath away. They remind us how small we are, and fill us with a childlike wonder.
The stars have inspired scientists and poets — some to explore the universe, others to uncover the secret workings of the heart. In every culture, the stars have given rise to myths and legends. And the stars have obliged, displaying our heroes on a grand canvas. Some even believe their fates governed by the stars.
Diamonds left scattered as casually as pebbles on a dark beach, the stars whisper that the world might not be as flawed and cruel as it seems to abuse victims. They dare us to dream of a better future, of a life without pain.
Outer and inner space: God knows them both. In Him there is hope and healing…no matter how broken we may be.
Above all, that is the promise the stars hold out to us.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name” (Ps. 147: 3-4).

What a lovely and poetic post, dear Anna! Wonderful! ❤
By the way, my hubby Paul is an amateur astronomer, a truly "crazy" stargazer. 😀 Every free minute when the sky is clear, you will find him behind one of his telescopes, either watching the sky or taking pics of stars and planets, global clusters, and some nebulae. 😉 If you like to take a peek at his pics, here's the link:
