THE
LEGEND OF LITTLE STAR
By Al Sargent
As
the little star looked around at all the bigger stars, his
eyes were filled with their brilliance. They were so bright
and beautiful that the little star allowed his mind to drift
off to the somewhere worlds that would someday admire their
beauty.
He
personally knew one of the stars that would appear as part
of Orion's Belt to the inhabitants of a small planet in the
Milky Way Galaxy called Earth, while to the perspective of
others on a larger planet in a galaxy far from Earth, he would
appear as the tip of the beak on The Great Eagle.
He
was proud to be seen with his friend, and especially liked
it when his star friend would introduce him to the other big
stars as his little buddy who can make rainbows in the daytime.
Of
course to Little Star, the fact that he could make rainbows
in the daytime was no big deal. "After all," he
would tell the others, "that's not really what stars
are for," as he held back the little sparkles approaching
his eyes in the form of tears.
You
see, what Little Star wanted more than anything in the whole
universe was to be a big and beautiful star like the others.
Although
Little Star was small in stature, he made up for it with an
abundance of pride, so he was always able to choke back the
sparkles before any of the other stars could see his sadness.
He
had no way of knowing at that time how much the other stars
liked him, or that they already knew his was a very special
purpose.
As
the big day approached when all the stars in the Omniverse
had their position assignments and were getting last minute
instructions about their gravitational effects in the universe
that was about to be formed, something happened that Little
Star would remember forever. He met The Great North Star.
He'd
never seen The Great North Star up close before, and was somewhat
surprised that in the presence of his magnificent brilliance
he felt a comforting warmth that enveloped him with love.
The Great North Star broke what seemed an eternity of silence.
"Are you ready for your journey?"
"Huh!
Who me?" conveyed Little Star's confusion. "Why,
of course you", replied The Great North Star. "But
why me?," asked Little Star, "surely I don't have
a place in the universe, why, I don't even give off light."
"And besides, if I did, I'm so small nobody could see
me anyway."
The
Great North Star laughed, and knelt down beside Little Star.
"Of course you have a place in the universe," he
said, "in fact, yours is a very special place, one that
is the envy of all the big stars". "But I don't
understand," said Little Star.
The
Great North Star continued, "You see, all the big stars
give energy and meaning to the universe in their way, and
you in your way." Still confused, Little Star asked for
more. "While the big stars offer beauty and direction
in the nighttime sky, you will bring a connection of oneness
to a special spirit many years in the future, and unlike the
big stars, yours will be a daytime gift when all the big stars,
other than the sun, will be asleep."
"From
your gift, and the gift of the sun, people will be able to
see the colors of the rainbow on a storm less day." "Do
you mean", asked Little Star, "that I will be a
special star for just one special person?" "That's
right," said The Great North Star.
Little Star was so excited that he could hardly wait to meet
his special person. "Patience," chuckled The Great
North Star, "it will still be a long time before you
meet your destiny. Only when the time is just right will your
individual beauty be appreciated, and many things need to
happen first.
In
the mean time, your job is to gather energy from all the love
and honesty in the rest of the universe, and when your time
comes you will be a gift to the person who can appreciate
all that you bring to their world." Little Star thanked
The Great North Star, and began his journey toward his destiny.
With
this gift, Little Star at long last meets his destiny.
"What
is your destiny?"
