One of the things in life that brings me joy is sitting outside and looking up at the nighttime sky. And there are a certain handful of constellations that I look for. My favorite has always been Orion. I don’t even know why. It just always has been that way. I remember being very little and finding joy in seeking out Orion, the North Star, the Big Dipper, and others. 1 Reply GCharlotte3 months agoGCharlotteIn dark times Word Made Flesh guided the way! Tears of emdearment lit the path through my beloved Jesus. 1 Reply Zenith3 months agoZenithI don’t remember responding to this question. The stars that appear are different to each situation. More than anything, it takes life experience to know you will get through whatever comes our way. That is everything. 1 Reply Malag3 months agoMalagThe star that always shines is the one that says you have the resilience to get through this and somehow you’ll grow. I’m grateful that it shows up for me. 2 Reply Ose3 months agoOseThe loving kindness of dear friends who called or came along for cooking together, or walking in nature, or the dear friend who was willing to listen and be there for me when things were getting too dark; music; and oftentimes the people here who share honestly and kind; my dear sister; the underlying Light and Love that did shine through all their tones, words and their caring. 3 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaDark is good!! Don’t use ‘dark’ for something bad or negative!! See the picture I’ll post in the Lounge 3 Reply Hot Sauce3 months agoHot SauceDuring the hard times in life, my counselor, the writings of mystics and sages, the teachings of different world religions, and books on modern wisdom have appeared to guide my way. 6 Reply Don Jones3 months agoDon JonesI have come to like the dark – meaning the absence of light. It is there that a gentle loving knowing emerges pointing a way. It is the stars themselves rest in the darkness, yet shine. 7 Reply Mica3 months agoMicaHeavens yes, Don Jones – darkness is good! Thanks 2 Reply DeVonna3 months agoDeVonnaI have always faced my darkest times by turning to prayer. Growing up without a family taught me to rely exclusively on God in good times and bad. He has been the one Constant of my life, evidenced by the stars in the night sky and the continuous thrum of waves against the shore. He has been my father, my mother, my sibling and my friend. 6 Reply Melissa3 months agoMelissaPrayer in high anxiety times in the middle of the night, nature walks in the day , my bestfriends voice, and a loving touch from my husband to ease fear. 5 Reply Lauryn3 months agoLaurynMy cats….there for me always when family and friends are not. Myself….always striving for perseverance and perfection. Nature and music- constants in my life always. 7 Reply Linda3 months agoLindaI have always been fortunate to have friends and family there when I need them in difficult times. It would be impossible without them. 6 Reply Papilio3 months agoPapilioFaint hope given by my doctor just enough to live one day at a time, led to another hope given by my family, then to another by my friends. Eventually I was able to look forward to something in the future. 6 Reply Marie Therese3 months agoMarie ThereseFamily and friends, who go out of their way to ask me how I’m doing, and how they may help. The quiet, yet eloquent gifts of nature. Flowers that brighten the world. Trees that offer shade. The compassionate eyes of my dog. 7 Reply Malag3 months agoMalagAbsolutely yes to compassionate doggies. 2 Reply Patricia3 months agoPatriciaMany…. but the response which immediately came to mind was “Poets – especially Mary Oliver … ” I think she can turn me back to the solace of God’s wild and beautiful creation, and help me ground my soul. 8 Reply Trish3 months agoTrishI read Wild Geese at my brother in law’s Celebration of Life Zoom get together on Sunday. It was the perfect thing to share. 2 Reply Michele3 months agoMicheleI just read that for the first time – beautiful:) 2 Reply Trish3 months agoTrishSo glad you found it💚 1 Reply Lioness3 months agoLionessMy family and friends and right now so many strangers with their kindness. 6 Reply sunnypatti3 months agosunnypattiMy mom. When I was in some of my darkest times several years ago, she was there in a way that gave me hope in myself. She never told me what to do, but was there lifting me up. She has always been my brightest star and biggest cheerleader. 8 Reply devy3 months agodevyMy true self, Friends, hope and being grateful. 4 Reply Trish3 months agoTrishThe brightest star is Hope. She comes to me when I’m lost & floundering and helps me find the way through confusion & pain. Hope is always lingering in the background; always at the ready when I need her light. 9 Reply Michele3 months agoMicheleThe moon and sun. Happy Veteran’s Day.
