The Wishing Star
by Wayne Sayer
In the distance on the playa shimmer flashes of light; as you approach you see a constellation of stars reflecting different colors, spinning, and dancing around a large wooden center star. Join the dance, with the blinding sun reflections during the day or the twinkling sparkle in the night. These are the wishing stars; write down your wish and let it be part of this shining collection of hope - then release it to the heavens when the stars burn with the Temple of Hope.
