I watched a TV programme on Sunday about Star gazing and a place in Northumberland where there is no light pollution in the sky.. The thousands of stars that twinkled down were phenomenal.
Since the beginning of time, humans have gazed at the stars in the night sky with awe, looking for answers and inspiration to guide them. We have grown up with stories of gods and goddesses, astrology, and astronomy.
We have worshipped, wondered, and even projected ourselves out into space both physically and mentally in an attempt to understand their magical essence. We know more now than we ever have about what those celestial lights are, how far away they reside. We spend Billions of $ and £’s in exploration to travel to another planet.. And yet we fail so miserably in attempting to Conserve and Protect many species which go extinct daily. And we fail to see how we as Human Beings are destroying our very home, Planet Earth.
Humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control, and survival, instead of one of trust and collaboration with the universe. Yet, in truth, we need to adhere to both ideas in this life. We need to be mindful for on the one hand, there is much to be said about exerting control over our environment. We created shelter to protect ourselves from the elements. We hunted for animals and invented agriculture to feed ourselves.
We built social infrastructures to protect ourselves and create community. This is how we survive and grow as a civilization. However, it is also clear that there are plenty of things that we cannot control, no matter how hard we try, these are the events around our globe which bring suffering, disease and disasters. We forget we are supported from an unseen force – a universe that provides us with what we cannot provide for ourselves.
So as I look to the Stars I also know that we have to take on Personal Responsibility. These are the things we can control in life. But I also know that we need to Trust in the process of the Universe.. We need to manifest our dreams and visions. When we understand our very thoughts are bringing into our physical reality that which we focus our intent upon.. So I ask you to think carefully what Drama’s you are getting caught up within.
I know its not easy, but the more we focus upon our own Lights and live within our own bubbles we are helping bring Positive Change.. It all starts from within.. And we then must Trust, let go and allow the universe to take over.
As I look at the picture below I know we can all sprinkle our various Bubbles of Light around the world.. We do it by treating each other as we would wish to be treated.. We stop buying into Gossip and spreading the woe is me stories of doom and gloom.. Yes there are horrid things happening out there.. And I am as compassionate as the next. But if I am fearful or I spread doom and Gloom.. I am only adding more Darkness to the world.. So I choose to sit in my bubble and spread a little Love and Light..
Bubbles Of Light
Out into space I travel afar
Gazing back down from that far away star
The light is forever within my grasp
As I watch over the changes of my past
One by one my memories fall
As downward they tumble as I hear your call
Those spheres of light are orbs of truth
Memories recalled way back in my youth
Time trickles onward like the grains of sand
Of a place and a time in a far away land
When all were happy and all were free
And when bubbles of Light
Were just you and me..

Love your post, Sue … seems I live in a bubble within a bubble … bringing much peace for my people, yep, peacemaker is my name, smiles … but also desperately trying to find peace in my own heart … sometimes literally running on empty … drinking your words, sister … smiles … Love, cat.

Sometimes Cat we have only to look within the Mirror and utter the words we all long to hear.. ” I Love You”.. When you can do that deep within your eyes and laugh with your heart at the absurdity of our worries as we SEE the core of our being can be traced right back to those Stars and we know without any doubt that nothing can harm us,, not the Real Us.. And we shed our layers of conditioned upbringing and tare down the hurts we have carried that have held us down with wounds we self inflicted over and over . When we can do all of that.. You will know Peace in your own Heart and you will no longer run on empty.. But you will be SOoooooooo Full.. You will never stop smiling.. 🙂 ((((HUGS))))) my sister.. xxx Sue ❤ ❤ ❤ xxx

Light pollution is an excellent phrase. I live in the suburbs of NY yet we hardly see any stars. I think they are searching the galaxies to find a planet that humans can inhabit because they have stripped this one clean or almost. It is sad that people can be so cavalier. This is a wonderful essay and poem. If we all took a look at ourselves and make that change maybe we’ll have a chance.

This is such a timeless and universally applicable message Sue. There are those from Karl Marx to the Buddha, from Socrates to Tolle, who have stressed the need for each of us to put our own house in order so as to be able to assist the greater community of beings. As you so adroitly say, this is our great task – to bring about positive change from within – and from this change we may trust in the benevolence of the universe to let the story unfold from there, from that place of light and love.

A beautiful simplistic poem Sue, it describes exactly who we are, tiny orbs, small cells floating the Universe, insignificant but essential to the overall.
Orbs that bump into each other much like people who cross our paths in this life.
Orbs that merge as in marriage , yet still creating more Orbs, finally when all Orbs are Spiritually in harmony, we can create a oneness of all mankind that will bring love to the Universe.
Just ramblings Sue of this old mind.
