The stars in the sky shine due to compressed gasses at distances further then the reaches of the imagination.
It is due to gravity that those gases come together, it is due to their compression that produces heat and yields to visible light.
They twinkle because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth. As the atmosphere churns, the light from the stars are refracted in different directions. This causes the image to change slightly in brightness and position.
For all the processes in nature that must be accounted for in order for a single twinkling star to shine bright in the heavens of our skyline,
They are eclipsed by a single birth of a human. For all the things humans think they understand and think they have witnessed, the birth of "one" is the most awe inspiring act that nature can produce.
May the celebration of the day of your birth be filled with a blanket of stars, both stationary for millennia and shooting/falling across the sky for milliseconds.
