WIDE ANGLE
Rosette Nebula
Some quests keep us alive, otherwise we are just breathing. Observing the sky above is a therapy for me. Cosmos takes me away from my misery and pain, achievements and failures, good and evil, lows and highs. It takes me beyond and in the supernatural where the petty doesn't matter anymore. I, me and myself do not matter anymore !
What matters is the vastness and the supremacy of the universe. The silence amidst noise, the order amidst chaos, the birth amidst death. What matters is the fact that we are all just Stardust !
Do you ever feel that while we are waiting for our very brief time to end on a tiny blue planet, we miss to look up and decide our next destination. Where will you be after this? As matter and as energy? As a matter of fact, long back in significant time, we were all buried in the heart of a star very far away. Possibly, parts in different stars, in different parts of the universe. We all travelled through space and time to reach here, atom by atom, and it took us millions of years to become what we are today, and the journey ahead is long. Much longer than you believe and before you reach the promised 'Paradise', only if you don't get sucked by a Black hole. Haha!
So, where would you like to go next ? Atom by atom, quanta by quanta. And what if you're eternal? And what if this Cosmos is the 'Promised Paradise' ? I know we can just choose, not necessarily reach.. but still, let's choose while we can.
I choose 'Rosette nebula' and Saturn's rings. (But only if I haven't been there before, and I don't know it. Hehe! )
