How I Wonder

"When it is darkest, you can see stars." Read the fortune in my fortune cookie. Lovely sentiment, I think to myself. As I am in a rather contemplative mood, this little sentence bounces around my brain for awhile. And it starts to annoy me. Because seriously, being in darkness is annoying. I know. I've been in a few dark places. And the dark is fine if you can just sit there or lay still, but often you have to keep moving in hopes of finding the light. And moving around in darkness is NOT FUN. You can like, stub your toes or trip over stuff or bruise your shins and basically get hurt! So I concluded that that fortune is stupid!

"When it is darkest, you can see stars." Even though I'd come up with a well thought out conclusion to the annoying fortune, I couldn't shake it so it continued to rattle around my skull. Stars. Hmm. Stars are nice. I like stars. As the song says, they are little and they twinkle. I love it when it's really dark outside and the whole sky is filled with....ooooohhh. Right. The stars. It's the stars. Not the darkness. I haven't seen any stars in awhile. I've been too busy shielding my shins from bruises and trying not to stub my toes.
