Starting Fresh
Where I like to think a lot of my perspective comes from...
I've posted Pale Blue Dot before, and it's an essay that is worth reading often. I think when the words are juxtaposed with such beautiful visuals, it's incredibly powerful.
"Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives...."
"...To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
Happy first day. Happy fresh perspective.

Julie - here's to a new year!
Just beautiful! The only home we've ever known, we must preserve and cherish it. Thanks for the reminder.
Loved the Julie Michelle story too.
What a wonderful thing to provide diapers for homeless families.
I am happy we share this pale blue dot at the same time and that our paths have, somehow, crossed.
Beautiful.
Happy new Year Shiny Gold :)
I hadn't seen this before. What a wonderful and grounding message. It's always so enlightening to look at Earth from space- it reminds (me, at least) that there are no borders, no worthwhile or lasting differences.
Thank you for this post!
Julie-Thank you for posting this. I just shared this with my son when we were talking about the new year and a fresh perspective.
Happy New Year!
