Your description -'goosebumps that make me think my scalp is shrinking' - is perfect. I know the feeling well. <br /><br />I experienced (it was much, much more than 'watching') a short movie called 'Hubble' at an ArtScience symposium the other day and thought of you, Marylinn. The images of dying stars and birthing galaxies, the vastness and wonders of our largely unknown universe left me speechless and my skin and brain tingling. As you say, impossible things keep happening. Our sense of awe and infinite possibility keep expanding. So much defies explanation, is beyond articulation. xo (I'm sorry I've been away so long - turning up, but not really).Claire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-13667737208339086182011-11-26T09:53:24.541+13:002011-11-26T09:53:24.541+13:00Dear Melissa - thank you x
Love and gratitude mig...Dear Melissa - thank you x<br /><br />Love and gratitude might well be everything we need. Perhaps in time we become nimble enough on our animal feet to scamper up and over the rainbow's arc, trusting that for all its ephemerality it is every bit as sturdy as the sturdiest stone bridge? I'm not sure why I say this, since on a purely pragmatic level it makes no sense, but then again. . . ? So much at the moment seems to suggest that illusion and reality are interchangeable, or at the very least, parts of the same thing. <br /><br />One thing's for sure - my world is vastly richer for your being in it. xo.Claire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-21257447199838544852011-11-26T09:21:30.353+13:002011-11-26T09:21:30.353+13:00Hi Elisabeth - yes to colour!

In the tiny fragment I even know OF with quantum physics, instead of demystifying the wonders, it expands them. Impossible things just keep happening. xoxoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100640878581081403.post-31603648747931509372011-11-25T12:19:30.241+13:002011-11-25T12:19:30.241+13:00Much love and gratitude to you, Claire.
