I was surrounded by heaven. The sun, the moon, the earth, and all those living stars. They wen’t static like in pictures taken from impossibly far away- they breathed, they glowed. They were future and past, possibility and memory. They were beautiful. “I never knew there were so many,” I whispered. We are merely pieces of a grander design, even more insignificant than I imagined. When the earth ceases to be, all those stars will shine on. Out deaths will mean nothing to them.”I feel so small.” No one replied. I wondered as I watched the stars, really seeing them for the fist time, whether they could see me, too.
