The stars twinkled high above and reflected onto the cold window. I blew on the frosty glass and watched my breath fog up. I traced my initials across the cold glass, the condensation trickling down the pane.

About This Quote

This quote captures the beauty of stars twinkling in the night sky. The cold pane of glass is a metaphor for a window in a room, which seems cold and frosty at first glance. But when you blow on it, it warms up and is no longer cold anymore. The condensation trickling down the pane shows that after being faced with coldness, something is able to warm it up and make it more beautiful again.
