I smiled to myself late last night! π
My children and a few close friends know how much I love looking up! β¨ I picked my son up from the cinema last night and as we were driving home π he asked me if I was going out as it was a very clear night! I said of course. π
So we got home and he looked up and pointed and said Orions Belt yeah mum .....I said yep that's right! He said that star beginning with B is the nearly Supernova one yes? I smiled and said yes it is! He said where's the cluster you love, I pointed to the pleiades! He then said oh good because I showed Cristie (his girlfriend) all of those the other night!
Fast forward an hour or so and I'm out with my binoculars looking up and within the space of ten minutes two of my friends text me π± to say "Clear night Claire, bet you're out"! π They both said they'd had a look up and thought wow!
Ten minutes later a colleague text me saying she'd just showed her husband Orion and his belt like I'd pointed out to her one night while we were working!
So this brings me back to why I smiled to myself late last night.....
The sharing of something I absolutely love, the sharing of a passion impacts others! Point someone's gaze gently upwards and the absolute majesty and wonder of the night sky takes over them too. The universe softly plays her music to all.....to all who are prepared to listen. π₯°
