I have always loved Stephen Hawking’s words “Look at the stars instead of your toes”.No one had more reasons to fold up, sit in a corner and feel sorry for himself. A brilliant life ahead of him and he was struck with a terminal disease that left little hope for a meaningful life. He lived a life way beyond the predictions and gave many with similar challenges hope that their lives despite the difficulties could have great meaning.
We all can look at our toes and think that things are not going the way we had envisioned our lives but there is available that moment today to look at the stars. Our path is singular and connected to others .We can sense the beauty and wonder of our journey. This morning I draw strength from Stephen, and in my search for the stars will find new energy and inspiration.
