vantage points...


(something i seem to talk all day and night about).

but here's this from a dear friend (thanks, Julie! how's your pup?) along with the quote, "This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You also see the sun below the moon. An amazing photo and not one easily duplicated. You may want to pass it on to others. The Chinese
have a saying: 'When someone shares with you something of value, you have an obligation to share it with others'."


Okay. I'll play.

An extraordinary image. Reminds me some of the images from Titan, one of Saturn's moons (which I've been next to obsessed with and meaning to nonblog about for a month now) that has H20/Ammonia waterfalls and landscapes that are familiar and not - miraculous dramatic geography, all in a wash of cold, orange methane rain. Like, they say, a planet with all the pre-conditions for life.

Actually. All the time. OUT there.

Stunning.

This too.

All of it.

Farther than the eye could ever see.

or - in an awkward clip from one of my favorite eecummings poems: [this] which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart


Amen.
