"I would like to stay Tristan, but how can I help? I'm just a boy..."
Tristan answered, "You just need to be willing. We the stars will help you on the way."
Jonah through again and looked around him; at the stars in the background, the planets behind him. "Where is the bad star, Tristan?"
"Far, far from here. When you are ready we will send you. It will be a longer journey than you have experienced so far but you will be able to hear Madeling and myself speaking to you along the way. And, if you look very closely, you'll be able to see us far in the distance. Even when you reach your destination Jonah. So there is no reason to be afraid."
"Will I be able to still hear you when I get there?"
"Not at the end of your journey Jonah, no, you will not be able to hear us. If you could, then the bad star would hear us too and if he knew we were speaking to you, he would look for you and it would be very dangerous. We can always hear you though Jonah. Let that bring you courage and comfort."
Jonah sat in his bed thinking until a sudden reckless excitement overcame him and he grinned. Tristan watching him and asked: "Are you ready now?"
"I think I am, Tristan."
"Then listen carefully while you travel. Madeline and I are going to give you instructions."
With that said, Jonah's bed sped away from Tristan the green star and once again into the black depth of space...

You're funny.
when will you be posting again? your writing is so beautiful. as crazy as it sounds i think i have fallen in love with the way you put pen to paper or rather finger tip to keyboard key. i'm not crazy, i'm just a lover of written work. please post anew.
well canada...what can i say? i mean right now its pretty cold. here in toronto (where i live) we just finished shovelling out of 10-15cm of snow at the beginning of the week, and now as i sit here writing this, it is snowing - yet again. but all in all its very nice here. Oregon eh? sounds like fun!
Pieter... are you alive??
Pete... I've been doing a lot of soul searching and I think I know where my lack of motivation is stemming from - I can't illustrate what hasn't been written. :-P Now I don't feel so bad about being lazy - it's not in my hands!!
(Nevermind that there are several scenes that have been written which I could be working on).
i bet you think it's pretty funny to call me and not leave a message, pieter pieter chicken eater :-P
