FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT April 21, 2007

Star light; Star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may; I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight. author unknown
Last night, keepers were outside for just a little while. We were looking up at the sliver of a moon we have right now. But that sliver was surrounded by abundant stars with each one shining brightly. In the moment, keepers looking upward was causing us to feel not only hopeful but inspired to go on as well. I can not say what it is about the clear night sky that matters so much to us but the view of twinkling stars from within the darkness is a treasured image for all of us.
To be honest, keepers have no idea where the above STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT poem first originated. But, it is a poem that has come to be very dear to us over the years. It reminds us of a little girl who had to be outside for a few moments on every single night that the stars were out. That little girl always had to end her day by wishing upon a star. Somehow, this is a memory keepers have held on to and brought into our golden years with us.
So, as our little girl keepers picked out the first star they saw, each one recited the poem and made their individual wishes upon that star. I wish I could tell you what they wished for but even I do not know because sharing that information with even another alter in the same system might prevent the wish from coming true. I am sure that more than one little girl on this earth ended yesterday by wishing her greatest wish upon a star.
For keepers, the world outside our door is often a cold and cruel place where we often choose not to venture into. But on those rare nights when all the stars are twinkling brightly amidst the darkness, being out there in the world for just a moment brings each of us so much peace and so much hope that our wishes will come true.
I know that when we looked upward last night, something inside of us shifted enough to help us keep on keeping on. Perhaps, it was our own inner little girls getting to do something as fanciful as wishing upon a star. Or, maybe, it was big keepers remember other outside little girls who we watched sneak out each night to do their own wishing and their own hoping for dreams come true. I do know that when this shift in keepers takes place we stand a little taller and feel a little stronger and hold on for tomorrow to see if our wish does come true.
Magical thinking from an old Grandma? Yeah, probably, but this Grandma is little more than an antique little girl when wishing upon a star.
peace and blessings,
keepers
we used to say that poem all the time. except our wish was SOOOO negative that it never, ever came true.
{{{keepers}}} we hope tonight you can have a wish and watch it come true - only if it is more positive than negative.
we’ll make you a deal, we will make positive wishes if you guys will!! hows that? please take care and happy wishes!!

we stood outside tonight and tried as you had but unfortuately we could only see pain. maybe tongiht isnt our night to wish uypon anything. But one little inside did wish upon a star for keepers, we hope it comes true.
Somewhere along the line I gave up wishing on stars but I am full of awe when I see the night’s sky. Especially cresent moons To me the stars and moon are just another awesome gift God gave to us and am I ever glad.

we will definately have to take the time to go outside and remind ourselves of what it was like to once wish upon a star.. we seem to have forgotten what it was like to once be carefree and have that light and enjoyment of doing that in our lives.. well.. tonight will be different as we do just that.. thank you for this little bit of insight to that..

Dear Wolfbaby,
The idea of wishing on a star became a precious one to keepers quite a few years ago. Today, though, it somehow means even more to us. Especially at this time of year when spring is all around us.
peace and blessings,
keepers
