Do not reach up to the heavens 

when you want to touch a star. 

Reach inside.

Your soul is full of them.

From the brightest star of your

highest aspiration to the smallest star

of a shared smile, the glorious
paradise of your own sacred space is

adorned as beautifully as any

clear night sky.

Instead of opening your eyes and

looking up, close your eyes

and look within.
