Stars Burn. Scars Fade. More incomplete stuff.

 

I'm looking up at stars right now. Literally. As I'm jotting this down on my phone.
Well not at the same time but , you get what I mean.

I count them 1,2,3, 4,5,,6

And then 7 and 8.

Yeah that's the order in which I've spotted them. 

I know I'm seein plenty without actually registering it in my mind. Its hard to believe what I'm seeing is, in fact, countless spectrums of light from spheres of fire that has traveled millions of light years to meet the eyes of someone here on earth. Makes you feel very small and very big at the same time.

I'm up on the rooftop as I jot this down. To think that the moon doesn't even come close in size to what outwardly appears to be tiny specks, little pinpricks of light blinking in the immeasurable distance - That just baffles me. To know that they re actually Massive furnaces burning, Eons of light away. Each blinking speck a seismic inferno in its own right.

How can you look at the universe and not feel amazed? 

How can you stare at the stars and not feel your concerns melt away?

And yet in this moment a sense of urgency is present. 

It pervades the mind. Because your time here is limited. Everyone alive today arrived here with a death sentence. And we don't know when that is. And knowing that we don't know, but that it is a certainty, inevitably leads to a  sense of urgency.

In what little time you have here, what do you focus on? 

And this is where you ve got to prioritize. You just have to.

Choosing something naturally means discarding a lot of other things. Other potential somethings. 

At some point you have to decide what things you choose to  magnify and what things you re okay with seeing from a distance. What to do you carry with you, and what do you discard. 

What do you choose to hold on to and what do you let go.

And choosing not to choose, is a choice in and of itself. 

So really, What do you do?
