11:44 p.m. Stars were bright tonight, even with some haziness in the atmosphere. Pegasus directly overhead, Jupiter and Saturn plunging towards the horizon in the West. The moon was tangled in the branches of a Siberian elm. The bow of Orion was resting on the purple rim of distant hills……

Who is true, who would sacrifice everything for you, who gives without measure? I had this, and I have little hope that I could ever regain it once more. I had my day in the sun, and can accept loss and the resulting solitude for that reason. For all of you who are still waiting for your day in the sun, be patient and hopeful, do not rush into anything that may bring you regret, make yourselves worthy, wait expectantly for the good thing God intends for you.
