Falling stars are fragments of interplanetary dust that "fall" on Earth and look like a beam of light...on any clear night you can notice one, you have to be patient looking up at the sky for some time...but even then you may not see any. Then it can be that a distracted eye of some lucky person looks up and there it is...maybe You, a child or a grown-up, a scientist or a poet, in any case...when the beam of light of a Little Star shows itself, you're feeling a shiver within. It's only Good Fortune....thank Heaven for giving you a fragment of Universe, keep the Emotion and take it with You.

      "In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... you, only you, will have stars that can laugh!

And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... and your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, 'Yes, the stars always make me laugh!' And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you...

...He remained motionless for an instant. He did not cry out. He fell as gently as a tree falls. There was not even any sound, because of the sand."

Stars fall silently not to wake us up...
