The Stars Called You Home

Art by Lucy Claire

Donna Ashworth wrote the following beautiful words. I share them with you this cold winter day.

“This poem was written a few days ago in honour of a friend taken tragically. The amazing Lucy Claire kindly drew a piece to accompany the words and we both hope it speaks to many of you - to help say the words within your hearts.”

THE STARS CALLED YOU HOME

By Donna Ashworth

“The stars have called you home, love. 

Up high, so far away. 

I think they missed your brilliance,

they couldn’t let you stay.

You’ve shone that light of yours, love. 

on all the lives you touched. 

We’ve known your joy for years and years,

I guess they thought ‘enough’.

They need your light up there now. 

This world grows ever dark. 

Your passion will rain down like love, 

dripped into every heart. 

The stars have called you home,

now we’ll miss you, every day. 

And every night we’ll scour the skies, 

to watch you, where you lay.

And when dark clouds are gathering, 

and air’s too cold to breathe.

The life you lived will warm our bones, 

and your star will help us see.”

“The idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not exist.”
A Course in Miracles W-14.1:1-5

“Human capacity is slow to discern and to grasp God’s creation and the divine power and presence which go with it, demonstrating its spiritual origin. Mortals can never know the infinite, until they throw off the old man and reach the spiritual image and likeness.”
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 519:11-16
