Three things in life that can always be counted on are sunrise, sunset, and the constancy of constellations. The finale in musical Les Misérables reminds us that…
Even the darkest nights will end and the sun will rise
It’s Javert’s song Stars in Les Misérables that speaks to the constancy of (constellations) stars. The religious connotations in the song aside, this passage is a powerful reminder that when the world/life is topsy-turvy, look to the immensity of the steadfast constellations in the night sky, and you will find order and the promise of a fresh start tomorrow.
Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Until next time,
