His head is made of stars, but not yet arranged into constellations.

I find freckles fascinating.  I use to have freckles as a child and wondered why people would continually comment on them.  As I grew older, I didn’t hold onto mine… they became faint or disappeared entirely.  Once in a great while under the sun for too long I can see faint markings that just lightly appear and disappear again almost as quickly.  I have come to realize that they are so fascinating because they are actually stars, that connect into constellation – and constellations are stories waiting to be told. What can be more beautiful than a story?
