Stellar Connections

Sky Lines

Feature Class


The very first time that I saw the stars glowing above the heavens, I wondered how they appear in every people's eyes. Are what they seeing the same as another, or is it completely different overall? I learned how the early people connected a group of stars as they imagine the form of their legendary heroes, gods, goddesses and valued treasures alike, following their myths, thus the constellations were born. Yes, they were the ones who had the chance to connect the stars first, and ever since, we accepted their wisdom of the stars. But have you ever imagined, how the constellations would look like if the stars were to be connected in these modern times by a random someone?

Will the constellations be even more interesting, or will it be as mundane like how we appreciate what we enjoy now? Think about it, if ever you are given the chance to change the constellations and re-connect them to your heart's content, what would it look like? Will they look like a smartphone, a game character, your favorite celebrity, a helicopter, a chandelier or even a like button? Will Leo be a cute cat or a running rat? Maybe Capricorn could be in a shape of a heart, and Gemini as lovers instead of twins?

Well, I'm starting to see Libra as a sweet chocolate cake now...I should stop dreaming and eat dinner. Tomorrow night, when I look up at the skies again, I hope that the stars will be as dazzling and beautiful as they are now...it doesn't matter how they are connected with the sky lines, what matters most is that I could still see them and appreciate the diamonds in the sky...I wish people of today would love the stars the way the ancient people loved them...and that's the star connection, a bond we have with the stars that will withstand the test of time.
