True Colors by Estrella

“…I thought about how quiet it was, and how if we were in the city I would have never heard it like this. It feels as if over here in Point Reyes you can make all your worries and fears run away, like a bird soaring through the blue white clouds.

            As my eyes were locked to the sky, I saw something… a little dot. I looked at it closer… it was the first star to reach the sky. Shinning like a four caret diamond sparkling in a transparent glass box in a jewelry store. I kept looking at it and I never before realized that something so little could actually be very big. My eyes started to shut down, but that image of the star was in my head and I couln’t erase it. It was like if, you really focus on the world you can actually see the beauty of nature.”
