 A view from Hualalai to Mauna Loa


 
The lands of the South were filled with rolling hills and trees and rich green
grass.
Night Child climbed to the highest hill and from there he could see Wink Star 
lying on the grass below a huge tree.

And Night Child ran to where Wink Star lay.
 


 
Wink Star! shouted Night Child happily, as he reached the huge tree.
 
And Wink Star called out gently: Dearest Night Child…Dearest Child…I have
been waiting for you…
 
 
And Wink Star knelt on the grass before Wink Star.

Wink Star lay on the grass with his head on the soft roots of the giant tree.
Night Child, whispered Wink Star again.
 
 
And Night Child cried:  What’s happening to you, Wink Star? You’re not glowing
 bright and steady like before. You are red and your light seems to  be fading. 
What’s happening to you?
 

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star approaching the end of its life cycle
                                                                                                           
 
And Wink star smiled and he said: Do not worry, Night Child. I’m just 
changing – I’m changing into Bright Star and I will go to another sky where 
I will shine in the north and the children of the Earth will look at me 
and will be glad. I’m just changing and going to another universe.
 

But…but…but…cried Night Child. The children of the People of Star Eyes 
need you. I need you – we need Wink Star. 

 

Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star approaching the end of its life cycle

 
And Wink Star smiled and he said: But, Night Child…my dearest 
Night Child – you are Wink star.

 
I don’t understand, said Night Child.
 

 
Wink Star smiled as his color changed to a pure bright blue. 


Listen carefully, said Wink Star. As I go into the universe where the Earth is,
as I go there to the north to become a bright constant star to bring joy
and happiness to the children of the earth – you too will change…You too 
will change and you will become the Wink Star – and you will go to 
the universe where your people are – and all the children of 
the People of Star Eyes will see you, and they will be happy and they 
will call you Wink Star, and they will love you, and they will be jubilant 
and all the children will sing the same song you sang when you 
saw me glowing in the sky…I will go now, Night Child – and you will go 
to the skies in your universe, for you are Wink Star…And one day,
 you too will come to the South and another Night Child will come 
in search of you, and you will become another radiant star and the 
child will be the Wink Star….and so this will be always…for this has been
the way since the beginning of Star Time…
  

 
And Night Child leaned forward and he kissed Wink Star on his forehead…
And Wink Star became a deep amber and the light spread out all round 
the huge tree and then Wink Star became a golden light and 
the light disappeared… 
  


Geospace (dark blue).


 
And a change came over Night Child too…Night Child became a 
light of radiant silver…And Night Child ascended the skies and he
became the Wink Star…
 
 

And up there in that universe, even today, Wink Star glows and Smiles 
at all the universe where he is…
And there all the children of the People of Star Eyes see him and
 they are happy, and they wave to Wink Star and they all sleep on little flowers 
and they, like Night Child used to, they all gaze lovingly at Wink Star, and 
they sing the song their mothers teach them, the same song that 
Night Child’s mother taught him:
 

Wink Star
Always bright;
Twinkle Star
Light my nights;
Wink Star
A child
Just like me; 
Love Star
Deep in my eyes;
Shining Joy
Always glow in my heart
Wink Star
Always bright;
Twinkle Star
Light my nights

And you too, gentle ones, you too, lying gently on the flowers in the garden, you too may look up at Wink Star, and you too may happily sing this joyous song of Wink Star….
