Saw a shooting star...

Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky, must be someone's soul passing by...

If you've seen Ladder 49 at all, you might recognize this song from the last 20 minutes of the movie, as well as a special feature "music video".

Being someone who is attracted to the idea of what's beyond this life and the little clues that someone might be leaving you, this line from the song stuck with me. For as long as I can remember, the stars symbolize something to me much more than little sparklies in the sky. They offer something to wish and dream upon, and even as this line suggests, maybe a way to know there's someone out there.

There's nothing proven as far as I've been aware that these stars reflect a message or an immortal human...but to me, it offers a possibility. You don't have to believe in the same things, but to think of a lost loved one "passing by", gives me a warm feeling inside.

A parent of a boyfriend of mine who was lost to cancer recently told me that a psychic offered her the possiblity that finding a dime suggests that he is saying hi. Now, whether or not you believe this could actually happen is up to you, but I found that to be a comfort, much to the effect they do. It seems now that dimes seem to be popping up everywhere, in the bottom of the washing machine, in the middle of the floor in the bedroom, in the parking lot in front of my car door, etc. Is this coincidence or is it a "higher being". That's up to you to decide, but for me, I find comfort in discovering a dime for me to find. Maybe, just maybe, he's leaving a message for me to simply say hi.
