This Week’s Quotation:
On a clear night, where I live in Colorado, we have a view of endless stars. Seeing the Milky Way, the Pleiades, Orion, and all the other celestial bodies, I can feel the vastness of being on a scale that I cannot wrap my mind around.
We are surrounded by the infinite—infinite space, infinite stars, and infinite potential for this human life. It stretches in all directions.
We are surrounded by the eternal—time before all beginnings, reaching beyond all endings.
~ Becoming a Sun p. 135
Surrounded by the Infinite and the Eternal
Author, Becoming a Sun
If your life goes anything like mine, you might tend to become wrapped up in the immediate. It seems almost inevitable that the people and circumstances of our lives demand our attention. Then there are the ups and downs of our relationships and the unfolding cycles of all that transpires around us.
The immediate can be overwhelming if not balanced by our relationship with what is infinite and eternal. We, who inhabit planet Earth, came from the universal whole. Earth itself was born out of the universe. We never left the universe. We are part of it.
So, if the world seems to be pressing in upon you, or if it has stopped making sense to you, try this. Look up at the night sky and let yourself be held by the stars. Let the wonder of this planet and all the forms of life upon it surround you with their majesty and power. Perhaps then, you will feel more deeply the fantastic part you are playing in the Cosmic Story. Perhaps then, you will know more deeply that you are a beloved member of a Cosmic Family.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.

Absolutely. Thank you, David. Like you I like to think outside the box so instead of writing a lot of words as a note of agreement with you this time, instead I’m going to go play ONE WITH THE COSMIC FLOW on my keyboard and think of you. Here’s to our heavenly home, the cosmos. Love and thanks, Tom C.
The conflict, corruption and awful human suffering on our planet can often seem overwhelming. That’s why it is so wise to take your advice, David, and simply “look up.” Behold, the beauty, wonder and glory of the larger Universe and you know that the ordering power of Love and the creative process of Life are still in control.
Thank you for this inspiring blog 🌟
I love looking up at the stars at night before going to sleep, it’s a way of starting my sanctification from mostly full days, and prepares me for a good restful sleep 😴
We are truly blessed also by the day STARS who write inspiring reminders weekly, shooting out these blessed blogs for us to receive from all over the world – May many more sign up 🙌💕🙏🌍☀️〽️🙏 to enjoy these inspirations.
It is said that stars are performing a concert—-with large stars having a bass sound and smaller stars being high-pitched. I love star-gazing and swear I hear music from time to time!
We also have a concert being played by all the angel-beings who are present on Earth. We are here to blend magically together as we bless and enfold each other and orient upward.
So very beautiful!!!
