Has everyone seen the latest photos from the Hubble Space Telescope?! They are...awe-inspiring. Incredible. Space is beautiful. If you haven't seen them you really should. Look here.
The pictures remind me of the start Blake's poem 'Auguries of Innocence'
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
Each speck in the night sky, as big as a grain of sand, is the centre of a solar system just like ours...maybe even a Sun that sustains a world just like our...and there are just so many specks, so many possibilities. And even though we can only see little dots of light, it is incredible to realise how active these stars are. They are born, live and die, as if they were people with personalities and stories and points of view. What a lovely thought!
