Space Flowers & Other Mysteries Of The Universe
"To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour." William Blake
THE UNIVERSE is indifferent and gazillions more massive than my mind can grasp. Bombastic burning gases, rolling airless planets and fathomless black holes (pictured for the first time HERE), makes me a speck of extraordinary insignificance.
Somewhere in deep space amid galaxies beating with heartless precision, flowers and children grow. A little girl I recently crossed paths with randomly handed me a flower and brightened the world with her significant smile. I set the bloom afloat in a pot of reflective rainwater and discovered secrets of the cosmos collecting in there.

lovely reflection in the pot
ReplyDeleteWe are indeed a very VERY small part of this world and in the scheme of things have only been here for a moment in time

Both shots are exquisite. I like the micro macro.
ReplyDeleteSo much that is beyond comprehension, but the perfect gift from a happy child makes sense of the world. Thank you for recognizing it’s significance and sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe little girl was sweet to give you a flower. It looks pretty floating in the pot. Lovely flower and images. Enjoy your day! Have a great new week ahead.
Truly lovely photos, and yes a sweet thing to do. Love what you did with it. Looks like a work of art. One of my favorite Blake quotes also.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! And that Blake quote is so wise.

Lovely quote and images.
ReplyDeleteLovely quote by blake and lovely flower. have a fantastic weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's a touching incident well recounted. The older I get the more simple kindness is what really counts.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures and the written thoughts are so imaginative, and so exciting to know that all of these started from the flower given from the smiling little girl. I like the flower floating in the reflected universe.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflection and how lovely that flower you received. What a gorgeous photo from you
