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.” 

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

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

― John Lennon

“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.” 

― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“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...” 

― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 7: Brief Lives

“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...” 

― Alex Scarrow, The Eternal War

“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.” 

― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Peter Pan

Heaven's Trail Ireland

"All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust."

“So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!” 

Fairy of Song/Bograd Kids  

 “When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.” 

The Fairy of Vitality/Bograd Kids Collection

"Fairies never say 'We feel happy': what they say is, 'We feel dancey'.” 

“You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.” 

“Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.” 

-J.M. Barrie. Peter Pan.

Stars

All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... 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 will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! 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... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh. 

- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The Power of Silence

Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent. 

Remembering 9.11

Embracing ever so gently the curve of yellow playmate,

You’re breaking strings to shatters and pierce stiffened sky

Here moves the dome of heaven so vast and ever so endless

It’s wonderful that all of us have gathered here today.

Reflections of the sunset are gleaming through the branches

Don’t be so sad my playmate, look up and shed a smile

Someone will tap your shoulder and whisper ever so gently

How wonderful that all of us have gathered here today.

And yet, with pain and heartache we will recall the others,

Whose names engraved in ashes are burning until dawn

We’ll sing this song to heavens, we won’t forget you ever

How wonderful that all of us have gathered here today.

Sunset Sunrise

Shadows dance in the night

We are reaching the sky

I’m like a bird but don´t set me free

Our room has no walls

There´s no moon it dissolves!

I don´t sleep but I see real dream!

Someone’s spreading the nets,

Someone stabs in the backs

But we´re feeling no fears

and no pains!

We are birds in the sky

We can fly so high

Coz Love River is in our veins

-Irene Nelson
