Timelapse of the Perseid Meteor Shower seen from Joshua Tree National Park....

Late night post...just getting home
Crystal clear sky filled with stars.

You give yourself up
when you look up
...at the stars. I do.
I stand there in awe...amazed, inspired. Completely taking in the 'awesomeness' of the night sky. The fact that I'm here and they're so...so, so, sooooooo far away. Twinkling, tiny lights...
That they exist. That's enough. I'm in awe. That's enough.
Amazed, childlike, curious, bewildered...all at the same time.
So they give me hope.
Imagine we could stand before everything like that?
What makes us so different than the stars?
...they could be as equally amazed.

Not the view I had this evening however the above video blows my mind. Stunning.
The point? You'd have to really be still and patient to have witnessed that whole Meteor Shower...
Often that's all you need
...to really see.

night night...xo

the sight of the stars...

Published Thursday, January 06, 2011 by jodi renee.

The Tulip Nebula lies about 8000 light years away...one of the brightest sources of x-ray in the sky. Can you see the tulip?!?

I love stars (maybe there's a little astronomy geek in me) or perhaps it's pure fascination with something so eff'n incredible. Makes you wonder how we question or limit ourselves in ANY way. The magnitude of galaxies and stars...this life.

We are the only things every standing in our way. Of dreaming bigger, taking that leap...
So insignificant in the larger scale of life. And yet, we don't have to play small. Life is BIG...

When I wake up, get outside...into the morning darkness (yes because there's something wrong with me that I trek to starbucks at 6am! noooo because I get the fresh, FIRST brew...oooh yea....)
The first thing that puts the biggest smile on my face is...seeing the stars.
Oh yep. Full on astronomy geek right there.

So look up.
In absolute wonderment...
Be inspired by the vast dark sky, scattered with stars, that goes on forever.
If that's not proof that there are no limits to dreaming. I don't what is ...
