Stary Stary Night

Mother Sun, Father Moon, and the Star Children’s Earthly Dance

In a distant corner of the universe, where stars shone with a brilliance beyond imagination, there lived a remarkable family: Mother Sun, Father Moon, and their radiant children, the Star Children.

Mother Sun was the embodiment of warmth and light. Her golden rays stretched across galaxies, nurturing planets, and bringing life to all she touched. Father Moon was the serene guardian of the night, his cool glow casting a silvery luminescence that whispered secrets to dreamers and poets.

Among their countless offspring, the Star Children stood out with their unique gifts. First a gift of voices that harmonized with the cosmos, their melodies echoing through space and time. Second a skill to weave dreams, and paint visions of distant worlds in the minds of stargazers. And last but not the least, the ability to shape constellations, etching stories of heroes and legends into the night sky.

The Star Children reveled in their cosmic talents, bringing wonder and awe to the universe. But as the eons passed, they began to feel a yearning for something more. They desired to explore the worlds their parents’ light had touched, to experience the emotions of mortal beings.

So they approached Mother Sun and Father Moon with their request. The celestial parents listened, their light-filled eyes reflecting both understanding and sadness.

“Your desires are valid,” Mother Sun said, her voice a gentle breeze that carried warmth. “But remember that you are woven into the fabric of the cosmos. Your gifts are essential to maintain the harmony of the universe.”

Father Moon added, his voice a soft murmur, “However, we understand your longing. Perhaps a compromise can be found.”

Together, they crafted a plan. The Star Children would be granted a single night each millennium to descend to a chosen planet, taking on human-like forms. During this brief time, they could interact with the inhabitants and experience life’s joys and sorrows.

As the millennia passed, the Star Children’s visits became legendary. Stories were whispered around campfires and written in scrolls. They walked as mortals, their powers hidden beneath the veils of humanity. Their celestial voices created stories, their dream-weaving inspired artists and thinkers, and their constellation-shaping inspired myths and legends.

Yet, with every dawn, the Star Children returned to the heavens, their temporary forms fading like morning mist. As the next millennium approached, they would gather together, sharing their experiences with their celestial family.

And so, the cycle continued, weaving a tapestry of connection between the realms of the divine and the mortal. The Star Children’s fleeting visits left an indelible mark on the universe, a reminder that even the most distant stars could touch the hearts of those who dared to dream.

The Star Children, Father Moon and Mother Sun from Wendt & Kühn are a small but constant reminder of the universal beauty we are fortunate to live in.
