Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven.–Lord Byron, LXXXVIII, Canto III.

The awe of gazing at a night sky and seeing a shooting star blazing across the panorama of stars, is a sight that never fails to fill our hearts with excitement. Even understanding the scientific explanation for what shooting stars are made from, doesn’t diminish the sense of wonder and joy when we see one.  Keeping alive this capacity for wonder and joy is one of the ways we can keep our own spirits young.  Go out there and wish upon a star…you never know what might happen.
