‗ the wind always has a path and direction to go [in] she will lead. even with more speed, she is never rushing. she is never fearful, she is always faithful. ever-blowing, especially in softness, ever-going, particularly in the silence.

I do astronomy for a living, and images like this *still* take my breath away. What a beautiful universe we live in. Even in the midst of trouble, grief, & anything you might be struggling with (like we all are) - try to seek out the beauty. It helps ❤️

there's no place to go; you are in your heaven.

There are so many callings I'm fulfilling at this time; all of which require the regard of internal beauty, glamour & authority - becoming a burlesque performer, formulating a new business and learning to be grounded in the world, as a responsible adult.
