In the Starlight

As our sun rises in the east and sets in the west we might consider it in a new light...starlight.

It’s Christmas time…again. World peace didn’t arrive since last Christmas, can we hope for it…ever? Maybe we need a different perspective in our lives under a star.

I was recently waiting in beautiful Long Beach, NY for a light to change from red to green. And in that short span I realized I was sitting in another light…starlight.

My drive home along Long Beach's local streets, with starlight in mind, brought reality vividly into focus. My thoughts came with increased clarity about where I was, actually, were you and I are, and what’s going on around us…and around our troubled world

I looked at life with unfamiliar eyes, at existence in un-familial relief, of holiday warmth against pure physical existence.

Some basic truths came to “light” in my experience. You might get a sense of what I felt. Ii is my sincere hope others around our globe get a bit of it too:https://leebythesea.me/2017/12/19/in-the-starlight/
