[The Magi] went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. -Matthew 2:9-10
I left the house to go to work at 6.20 on Monday morning. It was incredibly dark but the sky was clear and full of stars- it's been quite some time since I can remember seeing the stars so clearly. The north star in particular shone so brightly it looked like something artificial. I have to say looking at those stars did make me feel overjoyed - it's something so beautiful and makes me aware of the hugeness of this world, and puts into perspective that I'm not the centre of it- something much greater is.
