Seek out the heavens

July 31, 2022

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.
— Rachel Carson

One idea to keep it slow and simple… Seek out the heavens

Have you been marveling at the images gifted to Earthlings by the James Webb telescope? Have you sat stunned by the Cosmic Cliffs of the Carina Nebula or giggled in joy and astonishment at the five galaxies of Stephan’s Quintet?

We’ve known about the vastness of the universe for centuries. And it still blows our minds with each fresh reminder of our place in an infinite mystery. It is the most gorgeous wakeup call imaginable. A call to wonder, which is a call to imagine and a call to action.

The coolest part? The universe comes right to you. Over the next two weeks especially, you can seek out the heavens as the Perseid meteor shower peaks between August 11-12.

Or simply take a verse from Walt Whitman and “from time to time, [Look] up in perfect silence at the stars.”
