Rockafella.

One night i was in a place far from where any yellow city light could touch me. I was out under a sky that was so full of stars that it seemed heavy enough to fall. Yet it didn't, it just stayed there, every star illuminated. And there next to the stars, was the moon. Bright as it could be. I started doing research on stars and constellations and galaxies because naturally that's what i do. I see something cool, and i want to know how it works.
(on a side note, you should research whales, and not just little killer whales, but the big ones, humpbacks and blue whales)

Well as i was doing my research (and by research i mean a thorough "google"), i discovered that stars produce their own light. Which isn't surprising i knew that, but i also discovered that the Moon does not. And this floored me, i mean, the moon was the brightest thing in the sky that night. So how? right, i mean how did the moon get that bright if it wasn't producing any light. What i discovered will change my life forever, and if you would fully grasp it's context, will change yours too.

The moon doesn't produce it's own light, instead it reflects light from the sun on the other side of the world.

(that thought deserved it's own paragraph)

That is what i want to do. Doing what i do, it's easy to get a big head, and to get full of yourself and start to believe that you produce your own light. What i want for my life, is to just reflect light from the sun (i could make a play on words here and spell sun SON, but that would be cliche) I don't want to shine any of my own light, (frankly because my light is not very bright) i want to be like the moon. The moon is just a big rock, full of dirt and holes and is all messed up. That is me, full of dirt and holes and totally messed up. But as long as i reflect God's light onto the world, then i will have done my job.

No i don't want to be a rockstar, maybe just a rock moon.

Stay classy,

xoxo TM.
