无意中，我听见一个小孩子的话，这已经过去好多年了。那是在华盛顿，她的父母带她去看假日灯火。那个十二月的夜晚明朗而又清澈，孩子看到烟囱顶端一颗明亮的星星，说道：“噢，看！星星亮，亮星星，我看到的今晚的第一颗星，我希望我可以，我祈祷我能实现今晚的愿望。”她的许愿中毫无可笑之处，就连她将人造灯误认为是数光年之外的闪耀明星，也丝毫没有减弱她的真诚。这是一个虔诚、纯真、包围着奇迹的光环的时刻。
我想，这并非偶然——星星是光芒、向导和希望的象征。它使每一个年龄段、每一种信仰、每一个国家、每一个时代的人备受鼓舞。在古埃及人看来，星星是幸福逝者的灵魂；而在现代科学家看来，星星是一个理性宇宙伟大定律的实证；对所有人来说，星星是奇迹的源泉。
