When we look into the sky...


I want to talk about the sky today.
They say if you shoot for the moon, chances are you may not reach it, but...you might land between the stars...

Why do stars become stars in our earthly life? Let's take the Beatles or Madonna?
They pursue their dreams, they do what they Love! They have found themselves literally, they have discovered themselves first, before others discovered them... They know what they want and who they are, and they just go with it. Besides, they do not spend energies worrying about the nonsense of life. You can never please everybody. If you try, you’ll lose yourself in an instant. Just focus on what brings you the most joy and everything else will just unfold...

And about stars...within and throughout:

Under The Milky Way
 Painting by Kristen Bailey



“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” 

“We all shine on...like the moon and the stars and the sun...we all shine on...come on and on and on...” 



“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” 

“I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend...” 


“In a world turned upside-down, where everything was wrong, bizarre, you could at least look up at the sky and see normality. Stars that shone regardless of who won a civil war, or who should or should not be a president. Their light was billions of years old. They didn't have a care...” 


“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”
