The Brightest Light

On New Year’s Eve, every year, at just about the stroke of midnight, Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, reaches its highest point. Every year. Most of us don’t even know about it. Most of us wouldn’t see it anyway because it is so often obscured by the flash and bang and glitz and noise of the fireworks with which we fill our skies.

Isn’t that just like us?
