We fall astray when we deny nature.

Watercolor and pen on the back of a postcard. 1985

If I remember right, it was somewhere in New Mexico. Somewhere around midnight. Somewhere quiet. If I remember right.

Be here.

She has been in the womb for eight months. But her journey began long, long ago. The elements that made her came from dying stars.

The water that flows through her body came from distant worlds.

The energy that powers her muscles came from the heart of our sun.

But it that most mysterious ingredient, the one that started ticking 13.8 billion years ago...that had led all other ingredients to this moment.

In this place. On this planet.

We are living in the age of starlight. A moment when time's arrow has filled the universe with beauty and wonder.

But it's a brief window of time that will never be repeated in the history of our universe.

No one can slow the passage of time, nor should we try.

Because without time, There would be no now.

No moment in the sun. No moments, period.

Without time, There would be no life.

- Morgan Freeman quote from 'Our Universe'

This documentary hit me so hard in the feels and this specific part especially encapsulates how I tried to express myself through this piece so perfectly. 😭😭😭😭😢✨🌌💚

Amid the fading tones that trail the fertile amethyst groves, below the cherry sunsets blossoming sweet kiss, betwixt the fleshy troves’ graceful dance with death into bliss, beneath tiptoes uniting silken stitch, it is here, now that our serotonin floods every inch, inducting us into a state of unadulterated content.

Life Energy 🧿

& You finally understand The message you communicate With an other human being has nothing to do with what you say It has nothing to do with the look On the musculature of your face Its much deeper than that Much deeper! It's the vibrations That emanate from you! - Ram Dass Similar to veins carrying blood throughout the body, there are energetic channels (Nadi) that act as pathways carrying vital life energy (prana) throughout the entire being internally and externally. Chakras maintain the flow of our life and conciousness. By paying attention to our energy, we can find what areas of our life need attention and care. People can read these energys we give off and the people around you can influence your vibrational frequency as well. We are energetic beings.

Spread love, appreciate, move your body, cleanse yourself, eat healthy, do things that make you happy. Keep your energy flowing :)  🕊
