Did you see the star? I did. It was a disappointment. Why? I had eyes that couldn’t see. So much of life is this way. The great ecstasies, the profound beauty, the exquisite meaning is never seen because we don’t have eyes to see. I came home sincerely fulfilled having seen the Christmas Star. Why? Because we had gone to see it. My wife, daughter, and I had made the trip into the darkness to see a great light and that did not disappoint because it was what it was. A light to be followed, two planets aligning themselves as they hadn’t done for 600 years, the Christmas Star the world called it, and there is the exquisite, profound, ecstasy; Christmas has a Star, and this star reminded the world, you have eyes for a reason, to see, so that I have no excuse for not seeing.
