There was a nice little thunderstorm that just passed through the desert about an hour ago, so I decided to take a walk when it was over. The rain had left little drops of crystalline reflections on the cacti and the moon echos off of each one. The clouds retreated over the mountains to where ever they came from, leaving the stars to take back their rightful place in the evening desert sky. I keep noticing this one group of stars, which points like an arrow in a certain direction, and I have asked many people if this was a constellation that they knew. No one so far can answer this for me. But, being at a crossroads in my life, I have decided that maybe I am the only one who actually sees those stars with their celestial arrow. I think that I will follow them.
Now, my question. Would you follow your stars if you saw them?

That's truly poetic. I'm sure I've seen quite a few 'stars' in the past, but I haven't followed them. I too often ignore what is right in front of me.

You are probably talking about Bootes this time of year, or the Summer Triangle.
Figuratively, I've been following stars of knowledge my entire life.

If I was looking for adventure, sure.

Yes, but only as far as Maple Ave.
