For some reason, I’m suddenly intrigued by the cosmos and the universe…and Christopher Kane Resort 2011 collection…
Photograhy by Lahoz and Brockington
Motel Cosmic Sweetheart Dress $58.00 (Nastygal Vintage)
Christopher Kane Resort 2011 dress, Random Blazer and tights I found on Tumblr.
Want that blanket right now!
And I want to share this moving quote from the Astronomer Carl Sagan’s wife:
“Carl faced his death with unflagging courage & never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don’t ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief & precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive & we were together was miraculous — not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance… That pure chance could be so generous & so kind… That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space & the immensity of time… That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me & it’s much more meaningful…
The way he treated me & the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other & our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.”
It touched my heart when I read it because I also want to be with one person, just cherishing every moment together forever….ah, one day, I’ll find him.
Wishing you an endless Saturday…! xoxoxoxoxoxo
