Hesperus..
Or Phosphorus?
Morning Star..
Or Evening Star?
It’s all the same.
The only part that varies
is the label you assign to it
within your language game..
contingent on the time of day
when it is seen.

Whether it shines upon you
from the highest heavens
up above..
or from the depth of your
unspoken dreams.
That which we speak of here
is not another star..
it is much closer to The Earth
than it may seem.

But even then,
the light it shines
upon The Earth
is not its own.
It is reflected
from a source
much brighter
in its radiance..
The One.
The immanent..
The substance
of The All.

Whether you call us
Hesperus or Phosphorus
or Morning Star
or Evening Star
or Planet Venus..
Our truth will only
ever be as real to you..
as the extent
to which you choose..
to believe us.
