Don't Die, Star!

Featured above is the image of a star -- a dying one! Sparing you guys the harangue, just look at it...Look! It looks like a hand reaching out for something; the red cloud above, to me, symbolizes past passions, old dreams, lost sparks, just something that was once an influence (a good one) and drove that "hand." Too many times, we lose our "mojo", we lose vision of the vision that we may have had for our individual lives -- we allow our happenings and circumstances to destroy the life path that may or may not have been determined for us (whether it be through our own decision-making, or some divine, predestinated plan -- whatever you believe.) Just like that hand, when we've finally realized how far astray we've gone, and how deep we've gotten ourselves in the muck of life, we're left gasping, reaching...reaching...REACHING....but it's too late. Another 'star' is lost.

We're all stars, powerful "pulsars" spinning wildly, lighting up our surroundings. With all our power, we have the potential to do some much; we burn so brightly that even amongst the crowd and cacophony of society, there will always be someone, at some point, watching us, individually -- like how we stare at stars in the sky, there's no way we can focus on them all at the same time, but amid the scatter, we find one that just stands out to us. That's how we are: we're "stars." We all have a purpose and a place in life. We all have a calling and an answering to perform. We musn't fall short of our dreams and goals, we cannot allow ourselves to die! As scientifically-intriguing and oriented as this picture may be, I believe there's a greater message to be taken away from this spectacle: Keep burning! Stay strong! Don't die, Star!
