The star is a tiny point of light in the deep that is the night heavens. Its distant neighbors are more distant than the farthest thing on earth we know.
The star is surrounded by an infinite number of other stars in a stream of light that is the galaxy.
The galaxy is a point of light and its closest neighbors are other galaxies in a cluster.
The galactic cluster is a point of light forming a sea of membranes and strings wound and coiled inward and outward.
The strings and membranes recede into a point of light that is but one in a shower of the sparks hitting the grate of your fireplace.
You blink.

Darkness and Radiance
The autumn wind blows numbing cold and twilight paints the evening indigo.
The orange carved pumpkin sits on the windowsill, grinning like the moon’s strange cousin, and its teeth are flames.
Don’t be afraid.
You carry our own heat inside you, and it is stronger than anything.
In the closing darkness, radiate the sunflower-golden warmth and put the Jack-o’-Lantern to shame . . .
