every night i examine the stars before i go to bed. i don't know what prompts me but its a habit i never could break. sometimes i think its 'cause i'm looking for something... someone. each night the sky looks so different. sometimes it turn blood red around 1 am or dark and haunting when the clouds cover it. other times its a clear blue littered with stars in every direction.
i feel that every wise man who ever lived took some notice of stars. some of them used them to travel. others used them to tell stories, define theories, make complicated decisions or just gazed in their beauty.
i think were all looking for a light. some of us find it and hide like the shadows do. others decide to get too close and burn from it. i feel that most of us just like to sit and enjoy the lights presence and warmth. i think God made stars to remind us of him. sometimes he feels out of touch, or beyond reach, but we forget how fragile our universe is composed and without the sun's eternal heat we all would be frozen to death. sometimes life seems like a cloudy day; we can't see God but we still know he's there. meanwhile some days a gentle ray of sunlight comes into our room, you know that kind where all the dust particles are illuminated and its so warm you could bath in it? its those moments that God reminds he's still there. his never ending vigilance.

Reflections
A list of Reflections that come to me periodically. This list will be updated with the newest ones last.
As we stand among the Court of Lions the worries and fears of the day seem to disappear as we now think only of love, life and death... and survival. That we may someday return to those petty troubles.
Some times I wonder if all these dreams are just some kind of pieces to some kind of story were bound to figure out in the end.
No journey starts with sleeping. So obvious but true.
A list of things that people want in music, God, Love, Lust, War, Peace, Life, Death, Pain, and Joy.
Often God is cited as a “crutch,” which makes me ponder the fact that many of us would rather complain about being immobile than resolve to using the aid of a crutch. I personally would rather walk with a crutch than never walk at all.
Coincidences are all too common to be only the results of only accidents.
It seems to be my personal experience that the spirit of a person, whether good or bad, can have a drastic change on there outward appearance.
For example: What is beautiful on the outside but not the inside can often over a period of time appear ugly to me, while what is grotesque on the outside but beautiful on the inside can just as well appear beautiful to me, and there are those rare occasions when what appears beautiful on the outside is just as beautiful as what is in the inside, and an unspeakable beauty results.
It is not the realization of a destiny but the digging to find it out that is the adventure.
On our personal journeys God often chooses to either blind us to prevent us from being overwhelmed of our destiny or reveals it to us a glimpse so we can realize how far we’ve come.
Its possible to look into a mirror a thousand times but never see yourself.
A man without pain is also a man without love, in the same way that spring isn’t spring without the winter before it.
Too often we fly through the doors open to us, but forget to knock on the ones closed to us.
When evil seeks to destroy a child early in life, it often means it is trying to prevent something good coming from that child later in life.
Dreams come before talents.
It is one thing to begiven a weakness, its another to fall by it.
