Shine a little brighter...

By Vichara


The stars in close proximity to the radiant moon were jealous of their fellow stars that sparkle so brightly in the opposite part of the night sky. They didn’t have to contend with the sometimes-blinding illumination of this lunar entity. This silent animosity continued throughout the eons and then on night this one star just had enough and called over to a group of twinkling brethren. Because of the vast distance it tried again – nothing. With all its energy it yelled over once again. “Hey I’m tired of all you guys over there shining so brightly and looking so radiant while we are lost over here next to you-know-who!” as it inferred over to the cratered orb. There was a moment of silence however a moment here could be a couple of light years there and then a single voice called out. It was one of the senior stars to the north east of the moon and it said “Hey ya don’t have to yell so hard we all heard and see you over there”. It continued, “we empathize with your situation over there but honestly sometimes you just need to put forth a little more effort. Believe it or not we over here so you over there and when you yelled over with your slight indignance, the energy you harnessed for that increased your presence. You just need to channel that idignance you have into something worthwhile like compassion and you will give big ol’ Moony a run for his money”. With that a particular spot in the night sky grew a little brighter.
