“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, but must be felt with the heart.”

–Helen Keller

I think what I love most about stars are the fables and mystery behind them. Yes, scientists and textbooks have “proven” them to be balls of burning gas millions of miles away – but that’s not how I feel about them. I still see stars as wondrous lights looking down on us as though they’re angels or mystical creatures.

Before we had reason or logic for gravity, flowers blooming, clouds forming, etc. these were all considered MAGICAL phenomena – just “how things came to be” without putting a scientific name or theory to it. The twinkle that appears in your heart when you’ve witnessed an inexplicable miracle is a joyous moment.

While I can only see the stars glow from a far-off distance and will never be able to touch them, I feel them glow in my heart.

Magic is everywhere 🙂
