Riding a Star

Everyone rides into life on a star; twelve houses are shared by many but, stars chauffeur us to our lives. We must all be open to our stars teachings; the one, who ignores their star, walks life aimlessly, making wrong decisions and failing every endeavor; mocking all who pay attention. Mark Twain knew his star, riding into life… A cowboy on life’s’ range, he knew it intimately. When it came to collect, he was ready. it had given him its best blessing and when it returned, he received his cosmic reward. Some people would rather abandon their star and wander life’s’ alleyways hopeless while, others lasso their star for the ride of a lifetime. Those who ignore stars would have others to do so; failure then consumes. No one knows all stars; angels of heaven that they are; are our teachers. They guide our path; light our way and take us safely home.
