As I write, I gaze from my open window towards the be
autiful cerulean blue celestial sky. I see but one bright star shining its light upon me. I am reminded that light is an illumination, a pathway from the unknown to the familiar, or the known. I parallel this concept with my own quest in life to transform from the very insecure little girl of my past to the self actualized middle aged woman that I am becoming.
My journey is far from ended, in fact in many ways it has just begun. I look at the star and see a bright sentinel provided by the heavens to guide me along the path. Its function is not to protect me from all wrongs, for it is from our mistakes that we learn many of lives greatest lessons.
It is from our mistakes that we can grow and move onward, if we choose to be illuminated, enlightened, encouraged, and inspired. The sentinel provides me with the security in knowing if I trust the process I shall not fail. The sentinel star provides the gateway from here on earth to the celestial bodies above. It provides me with the pathway to enlightenment.
The floodgates of my subconscious open to release the insecurity demon that haunts me. My mind is released from the shackles of negative thinking which I once valued as a close friend. I bask in the light of transformation, and allow in the magical power of the universe to serenade my heart, mind, and soul.
I look once again at that single sentinel star and I realize with a new found wisdom, I do not need an army of stars to help me along this self chosen path. I need but one star and that star is me!

Carol, as a fellowette traveller along side you I too can relate to your shining awareness. I would go a step further to add that your prominent star illuminates a penetrating light that gently bathes the hearts of those in your presence not only allowing your star to shine bright guiding you but also allowing an inner glow to flow from you streaming outward to others...that only comes from your willingness to be a vessel of that ongoing light of continual growth, life, love, and happiness. A sort of spiritual conduit.
