Little Star

“My daughter now looks out the window every evening and says to her star: Good night!” – my friend told me. I rejoiced with her. It is important to learn to see the light.

This is a fairy tale about light and stars. Welcome to a Fairy Tale World!

LITTLE STAR

Little Star was born in the Sky. . . . She opened her eyes—it is dark around and cold. She saw Elder Star nearby and asked, “Who am I?”

Elder Star smiled and moved closer. “You are a Star!”

“And you?”

“And so am I.”

“Why is it so dark?”

“If it weren’t for us, it would be even darker . . .”

“You are so beautiful! I’m not like you!”

“You just haven’t grown up yet.”

“Is it necessary?”

“If you want to shine brightly, you need to grow up.”

Little Star looked around and saw many other stars in the Sky, large and small, and asked, “And what is needed to grow up?”

“Think about to whom, from you, will have a brighter Light. Down there, on Earth, people live, and everyone has their own Star. As long as there is life there, we live too.”

“Was someone born there together with me?”

“Of course. Together with you, a new child was born on Earth.”

“And how will I recognize this child?” “He will look for you in the Sky.”

“When?”

“As he grows.”

“How much time will it take?”

“Everyone grows in their own way . . .”

“Will he notice me?”

“When your light is bright for him . . .”

“How can it be?”

“If you think about someone joyfully, and wish well to him, your light will be stronger. Who needs it will, sooner or later, understand and find you.”

“Even in such a dark Sky?”

“Yes.”

“Is the Sky always like this?”

“No. There is also a day.”

“What is ‘day’?”

“Day . . .  when one big star, the Sun, shines—one, for all who live on Earth. It is warmth. . . . During the day it warms everyone, and at night it rests.”

“Then why are we stars needed?”

“To shine when there is no one shining . . .”

“And there on Earth, aren’t they resting?”

“They do rest, of course . . . and if suddenly, someone wakes up? Everyone should know that there is always their Star in the Sky. . . .”

Little Star looked around, “Why does that Star over there barely shine?”

“She’s tired of waiting when someone, for whom she appeared, will notice her.”

“And if he doesn’t need his Star at all?”

“They will both gradually stop shining: one there on Earth, the other here in the Sky . . .”

“Did he not realize he has his own Star?”

“Probably not . . . it’s a pity.”

“How long will I shine? Do you know?”

“No. Each star has its own time.”

In the big, dark blue Sky, where there are no borders or depth—and why measure it?—two stars spoke together: the oldest and the youngest.

Elder Star has lived in the World for a long time and felt that soon she would stop shining, the other had just been born. One had learned to shine very brightly and probably the one, to whom she shone, living far away on Earth the same. And the other, the little one, not yet clearly understanding why she appeared in this dark, cold Sky, was worried about the one, who was also starting life there, on Earth.

Down there, on Earth, a newly born Man was looking at the Sky with big eyes. . . . The parents were surprised: “What a child! It’s a miracle! Falling asleep by only looking at the stars!” But Little Star and the Newborn searched, feeling for what they needed. . . .

They will find each other! Then it will be lighter for both of them to grow, and the Light of their Life, there on Earth, and here in the Sky, will be bright. . . .

What is the secret of success? And what does it mean to be successful? There are probably as many answers to these questions as there are people answering them. But there is something that unites us all, even in different answers – each of us is important, and when each of us is born, it makes sense. . . .
