Card: Be Astonished

Landscape: Cosmos/Interconnectedness

Title of Painting: Via Lactea

Interpretation: The size and scope of our universe is unfathomable, containing millions of galaxies, each with billions of stars and planets. And the entire 'multiverse', multiple universes, is breathtakingly more immense. Each living thing has a universe inside of them. Today, if you’re able, take a moment to step out under the vast night sky. Peer up at the heavens above and give thanks for the preciousness of this opportunity. You are a part of all you can see and all that you can’t — this universe, this planet, this community, this body, and this moment. And it is a part of you.

Deeper Resonance: This piece was created for a couple in Dallas, TX who love to hike and camp. It depicts a high mountain lake in the Pacific Northwest under the vibrant Milky Way.
