When I first revealed my work on constellations, a colleague shared with me how it resonated with the book she was reading, Orbital by Samantha Harvey.
Naturally, my curiosity led me to dive into this novel about the daily life of astronauts on the International Space Station orbiting Earth. Immersed in this universe that propelled me into space and gave me a vertiginous view of our existence and our planet, I realized how important it is to change our perspective.
To celebrate the summer solstice, I invite you to take an unfamiliar point of view - any view.
For my part, I'm contemplating the map of the sky from the point of view of the southern hemisphere, where the darkest and coldest days of the year are now unfolding. Somewhere on earth or in the universe, there is always another reality. And each reality is always so fleeting.
I hope this blog post brings you a little levity and inspiration. Daily moments of inspiration lead to a rich life full of meaning.
What do you do on a daily basis to be inspired?
I invite you to think about it and, if you feel like it, to share it with us by adding a comment below.
Have a happy summer solstice!
