In the piece about nature that Emerson wrote I loved the part when he said,” But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.” I like the way he described the stars in that sentence. In general I love the stars and just the concept of space, its very interesting so just the way he explained it made me like it even more! It gave me a whole new image of the stars in my head and it reminded me of when I was little and my dad would always tell me when it was lightening and thundering not to be scared because every flash was the sky taking your picture and then the boom was them loving the picture. Now if anyone is afraid of the stars you can tell them that they are the light of the universe smiling at you.
Emy,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found Emerson's description so engaging (and I hope there were others that appealed to you as well). Thanks for sharing that recollection of your dad's reassurances during a thunder storm. Very sweet!
I like it Emy Loo!! Your dad's thing from when you were little totally fits this quote
