back to my intimacy

We are made of star dust. Our story is bound up with the story of stars that lived and died long before the Sun and the Earth were born. Our fate is intimately tied to the fate of the universe. The beauty we see in the sky takes its power from what we don't see - or we see only with the mind's eye. Let your imagination break through the apparent dome of night and flow into the realm of supernovas, black holes, galaxies, quasars, and the radiaton of the big bang, arriving ultimately at the singular moment of creation, when space, time, matter and energy flowed from an infinite and mysterious source.

It's breathtaking simply to stand under a starry sky and look deeply into the universe of galaxies. Breathtaking to participate in the constantly changing drama of the night sky. Star watching at its best is a total experience, involving all of the senses: The sights, sounds, tastes, smells and tactile sensations of the night. It's this complete immersion into darkness and light, informed by some knowledge, open to mystery, that renews our intimacy with the Cosmos.

...

Estamos hechos de polvo estelar. Nuestra historia está ligada a la historia de las estrellas que vivieron y murieron antes de que el Sol y la Tierra naciesen. Nuestro destino está enraizado íntimamente con el destino del Universo. La belleza que vemos en el cielo la encontramos precisamente en aquello que no vemos - o que únicamente podemos ver con el ojo de la mente. Deja que tu imaginación cabalgue libremente por la noche y deja que tus sueños fluyan entre este reino de supernovas, agujeros negros, galaxias, quásars y radiaciones del Big Bang. En tu camino finalmente encontrarás el momento inicial de la creación: Cuando espacio, tiempo, materia y energía nacían de una fuente infinita y misteriosa.

Es sencillamente estremecedor el permanecer bajo un cielo estrellado y mirar profundamente hacia el universo de galaxias. Es estremecedor participar en los cambios constantes que se producen en este teatro nocturno. Mirar estrellas es una experiencia total que implica todos los sentidos: La vista, oído, gusto, olores y las sensaciones táctiles de la noche. Es esta completa inmersión en la oscuridad y en la luz, aderezada con un poquito de conocimientos, abiertos a misterio, lo que renueva nuestra intimidad con el Cosmos.

Hi Marga!
Congratulations on your POD! I like it a lot.
I am not always able to get on the internet because of the way I'm connected but I do try to say something to all of you when I can.
