When I was small my grandmother took me outside one night and told me to pick out a star.
She explained that I would always know where I was by finding that star.
I asked her if I could have more than one. She laughed and said I could have as many as I liked.
That night I picked out the three stars of the little dipper handle - and they have been mine ever since.
No matter where I have traveled in the world I have been able to find my way by locating those three stars.
When I have been sad or felt alone I have gone outside and looked at those stars.
I asked those stars 'Does anybody care about me?' and when I found love in my life I thanked them for listening.
This is the pathway to the stars. When I pass on I will jump on those three stars on my way out.
One...two...three...and gone!
Back To Forest!
