Once life has almost been taken from you. When for some strange reason you emerge from death and blink with new eyes upon the old almost forgotten universe, then you can understand once more the value of sea and stars, of happiness uncontainable, the sheer relief and delight of being alive that turns your eyes repeatedly upwards with thanksgiving then straight outward declaring peace over and over again to those who with heads bent low see mud not stars.
