I can see a million stars

It's almost the end of 2019.

Time keeps fighting me.

But here I am counting a million stars and knowing what joy is.

I'm one of the privileged million, billion or more.

I don't deserve it. But I am it.

Here and now, luckier than most of the planet.

What absolute bliss. Even the richest person on earth can't continuously feel this. 

The stars keep up with me tonight and if only time could stand still, just a little longer. Here and now.

Now.

Here.
