in one of the stars I shall be ... laughing

In high school Steve introduced me to a book called The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Of course, Steve read it in French, Le Petit Prince. The little prince arrived on this planet from a star and teaches the author that "it is only with the heart that one sees rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." As I read more of all our memories it becomes clear that Steve's gift was to see us all with his heart. I will forever see his smile, his twinkling eyes (that seemed to twinkle more with each passing year - as his face turned into a smiling moonface!) -- and his infectious laugh! He knew how to squeeze the joy out of every moment, and each moment in his presence filled his friends with joy and laughter. I thought of him when I saw the stars the other night, and The International Star Registry has now named a star in the Taurus constellation: R. Steven Taylor 'Le Bouche'.
from The Little Prince:

“In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . You -- only you -- will have stars that can laugh!”
And he laughed again.
“And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure . . . And your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, ‘Yes, the stars always make me laugh!’ And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you . . .”
