Unannounced, a single star
appeared to us, shining alone, cut off from her fellows;
Like an eagle beating the air with its wings,
Like an eagle beating the air with its wings,
That’s how the star’s rays
moved around it.
When you hear about the
star, don’t think that it was one of the ones visible to our eyes;
No, this one was a divine,
angelic power, appearing to us in the form of a star.
Can a person, just one of
the meek of the earth,
Really touch it without
feeling any anxiety?
Your body and soul consist
of a starry substance;
If we accept a star into
our lives, then our own light starts to burn even brighter,
Uniting with the eternal
Light of the Morning Star.
The disintegrated world,
sunk in shadow, is gathered back together and made whole by the Light,
The House that was
destroyed, once upon a time, on Earth, will be rebuilt as a new, heavenly
Home.
