from earth to sky

so its thursday morning (i am fairly 100% positive) and I am going to mexico city tomorrow morning with Paul for the week-end. He has never been there before, despite having lived here for two and a half years. Mexico city is a full-on place. It has everything, museums, shops, incredible art galleries, pollution, dirt, poverty but above all it has people, around 20 million of them, all packed into a circular valley, overflowing the edges with slums and shanty towns.

So to the title of this blog, I was intruduced to the Hubble site by Paul ages ago, he loves it. Its photos from the universe taken by the hubble telescope. They are incredible images. Have a look if you have never seen them before.

Kinda puts everything into perspective. Makes me think of when I am flying at night and I can see the traceries of city lights below me on the ground. They always look so beautiful and delicate and like some alien language or landing codes being sent out into the universe for all to see  ‘land here! good rates on hotels, residing locals friendly and welcoming’. I can forget that down amongst those lights is a big messy mush of emotions and needs and wants and love and goodness and anger and dirt and beauty and anything you can think of.  Sometimes it makes me want to hang above it all just looking at the pretty twinkling things and daydreaming vague idealisms.
