Today is the day of the Epiphany, which is where the magi reached their destination after following the star of Bethlehem.
Stars have been a source of inspiration and wonder for humans for centuries. They have been associated with hope, destiny, heaven, and freedom . The beauty of the night sky can evoke feelings of awe and wonder, and can help us feel connected to something larger than ourselves. In addition, stargazing can be a relaxing and meditative activity that can help reduce stress and promote feelings of joy and calm.
In literature and art, stars have been used as symbols of guidance, inspiration, and hope. For example, in Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar,” the character Cassius says, “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings”.
This line suggests that we have the power to shape our own destiny, rather than being controlled by fate or the stars.
Overall, stars can inspire joy by reminding us of the beauty and mystery of the universe, and by helping us feel connected to something greater than ourselves.
Today I would love you to have an epiphany party and decorate it with stars, sharing the cake you made yesterday!
