This is part of the Christmas gift,
The story of the stars.
And this is the story of the blessed astronomer.
It's a mystical look,
A deeper journey into who the magi were,
But at the same time,
That universal situation where we have our mind trying to understand and figure things out and seeking.
Meanwhile,
We experience something that is beyond our mind,
And it changes our life.
I did a piece on Love Conquers All called The Story of the Stars.
It has many levels of meaning.
It brings in the creation of the universe and the role the star of wonder played in the transformation of understanding,
The understanding that occurred with those learned astronomers,
Those magi,
Those magicians who knew something was going on.
Looking up at the stars,
We always can feel a sense of wonder.
And sometimes,
If we're very quiet and open,
The stars will speak to us.
In this piece,
I write about the learned astronomer who knows how to figure out numbers and calculations and plot the destiny of the stars and the implications of that,
But at the same time realizes in a moment of illumination that there is so much more going on,
More than just the numbers and figures that can be figured out on paper.
The learned astronomer is also one of the elements of the masters,
The magi,
As they become open to receive the messages of the stars and understand from the perception of God's illumination of how the universe and stars work in coordination with the planets and the Earth.
There is that sacred moment when the mind steps back and the heart and soul take over.
This is a very special piece.
On the album,
Steve Malilla was able to express it beautifully as the plotting of the learned astronomer realizes that sometimes something incredible is going to happen and that the stars do speak.
They speak to us.
The stars speak.
What spark could light that star that shines from so far with blessings that reach me here in a universal language that appeals?
What creates those clouds across the sky,
Those thoughts that cross my mind,
Hide the light of those billions of stars and distract the presence of love divine?
So I burn away the clouds with a breath and sweep clear the mind that hides this grace divine.
I open my heart and ask,
Lord,
Please help me find the spark that lights her sacred energy.
In this gift of space and time,
The light of the stars dance to the music of this cosmic fire,
Live in the universal mind.
We can wish upon those stars and see stars that Mary wears.
We can bring them down to Earth and let that light through us appear.
What spark could light that star that shines from oh so far,
The blessings of a holy birth that once came here to Earth?
We can listen to the stars and let them light the fire that lights our inner spark,
That gift that inspires our life.
And here we are in this miraculous time and space with dancing,
With the mystic fire,
The gift of love's great saving grace.
The cosmos hold reflected here in a mirror shining back as it's told.
Through the filters of time and the many dimensions that carry the flight,
This existence in space and time.
But the eyes always show the truth that they hold,
That seek to be seen and known in life's precious hymns of love.
Such love,
Very precious love.
