Shooting Stars
A Thoughtpiece Inspired By A Scott Bateman Artwork
Introduction
Scott Bateman's art is magical, cute and inspirational, and you can find this wonderful artist on Facebook here:
The music is "Shooting Stars" by Dollar. I always enjoyed most of their songs, though you may be surprised to know that. I have a couple of compilation albums by them.
Shooting Stars
They sit looking in wonder, a girl and her cat at The Mirrie Dancers above the big house across the gorge. The Morrie dancers are the dancing northern lights that appear. Sometimes they are comets and sometimes they are ice clouds in the atmosphere.
The girl and her cat love watching the night sky; sometimes they see the moon, sometimes the stars, but tonight it is the Mirrie Dancers, shooting stars in the dark firmament above the house.
Soon they will have to go home to bed, but they love the beauty that they see, and they know that they will see these sights again, as they watch the night skies.

The Glass Fairy
In the forest is a glass fairy. Some say it is a statue, a carving, but others tell a more sinister tale. They say she was a good fairy who helped everyone and looked after the forest and its creatures. One day, an evil vampire came upon the fairy and bit into its flesh, draining its blood and its soul, til all that was left was an outline of glass. The vampire left sated and was never seen again, but the fairy's glass remains were left in the depths of the forest as a warning, or a symbol of hope.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Hobbies Makes For A Fun Life
When we live life how do we make it fun or do we make it fun? Have we ever thought about that, while living life, do we make living life fun? Making living fun is getting the most out of it by doing the hobbies that we enjoy. Yes we all need to work as I have said before but we canβt always work. We need to do things that relax us and bring us joy also. When this happens we are living a fun life that we are in complete control of. An example of hobbies that can make for a fun life and in turn that we are in complete control of is doing the hobbies we enjoy, reading, or watching a certain show, or re-organizing things, or making bracelets, or whatever hobbies that you enjoy. I love getting outside and getting active when the weather is nice, just to clear my mind which is great.

The image is one great one that makes one think and your words are perfect for it.
Love it, especially the artwork as inspiration.
Beautiful!
πΉπΉπΉLovely.
I like to read your pieces first then re-read them while listening to your song choice. It always changes the feel. Again, you picked a perfect song to emphasize the magical feeling of watching shooting stars. Thank you for introducing me to yet another fabulous artist. I love this whimsical painting.
Gorgeous colours and your story provides an extraneous lick of whimsy.
Beautiful, Mike <3 Thank you for introducing us to Bateman's art <3
Ah, this makes me want to go see the northern lights. A wonderful tribute to this beautiful art
