There are some things my brain can't quite grasp, and the whole space/time thing is one of them - seeing stars that by the time we see them what we are seeing happened so long ago. My little head can't compute. But I love a bit of colour so I enjoyed the excitement of potentially seeing the aurora borealis, tho secretly am glad that then the prediction faded so I don't need to hang round til after midnight after all - there's an early work start tomorrow so maybe staying up half the night would have been a tad foolish. And anyway, we have clouds where I am so it was a no go, tho I'm still cloud gazing as much as possible - it's keeping me calm and optimistic. There was a lesson earlier this week tho as me n the boy headed home from cubs, me with the torch trained on the ground (to avoid dog poo) and him working out where certain stars were and promptly falling over, so I guess it's good to keep a focus on reality, or just stand still awhile when we want to gaze and dream.
Some days my heart feels much much bigger than my brain and whilst it can't span the universe, it's not far off and can encompass loved ones near and far. I hope today that your heart too is broad and wide - yes the world needs our smart thinking, but it also needs as much love as we can manage too :D
the sky this morning was gorgeous :) the eve has now shifted from one where I had lots of me-time, to a bit of an action packed eve. off to make rainbows out of tissue paper at messy church now, then on to see sick boyfriend. I'd make a rubbish nurse but I'm good with rainbows, the hope after the storm. hope your eve is full of them too :)
