Stars circulate the sky
The Sun warms you as the planets circulate the blood in your veins representing every zone in your body and the light penetrates. The Earth lights the moon and the Sun is reflective of the light. The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound so we should have been able to see the universe forming from Earth but the sound would have been deafening. However, the Earth did not exist before the beginning of the galaxy we live in but was formed from the Big Bang. Human beings are a result of the cosmos. We live in the light of the Sun and the philosophy of light penetrating the Sun. You would think the Big Bang was a loud experience but there is no sound in space. We are a result of an expansion and time. The universe was created out of itself. Constellations are a creation of God's magic via the Sun and spin for gravity. Our bodies are seasonal.
Buoying around with the centre of the Earth we understand the magnetic force and the attraction of Earth to the Sun, a Christian view. We project God on the stars and they project back at us with their twinkling light. Stars light themselves so it is possible Earth causes a light, too. Zodiacs describe constellations of stars and the coming of the seasons. So, like some old ancient time piece we describe the phases of the moon. We are the chaos of our planet whirling with the wind and over the centuries of human habitation of Earth have always looked to the sky. Mythological gods have sometimes had a more active role in the patterns of the sky but, the Christian God describes the phases of the moon; calendar events fall on specified cycles of the moon and so forth. We eat according to the festivals and planetary seasons. We are in winter because of the circulation of Pluto covering the Sun on its eclipse of the moon. Your body demands the food it needs and our light shines forth. We spin and gravity acts like a magnet pulling at the combustion of the Earth. Chaos was the fire and out of the well spring of chaos came the waters of the world. We are the earth. The air we breathe is the fire and the fire our breath. We breathe time for our god and chaos for our waters. We are one with God and our contellation is our heavenly abode. We are star for God.
The stars illuminate the sky and think of you as you walk underneath them. When we are star for God, we have a chance to be human but the stars twinkle down at you in anticipation, hitting you like a rock with their brightness. Shining from our inner core we make a light as we walk in the darkness. Glowing in God's light shows a pathway like a torchlight guiding the way. The stars, the moon, the planets and the Sun seem to have fascinated human beings for as long as we have seen them from the Earth. The universe has inspired our minds from the beginning. Our focus has been in the clouds or the sky as though thoughts may drift off with the clouds. The night sky appears to have created a notion of God. We are star when we have a need for God and shine. Shining, we illuminate and stars circulate the sky.
