Crystal Stars

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6:00 p.m. I step onto my driveway glancing toward the east, noticing the moon rising on the horizon. In every direction there is a star. “Should I fly into the universe?” I ask myself. “If so, in which direction? Any way would be the right way.” I tilt my head, gazing upward, eyes more open than they can be in the fullness of day, not looking at one star, yet somehow seeing them all at once.
