Eagle Nebula has also a Latin name Serpens - Serpent.
It is currently in the process of forming new stars.

I used to have the Horse Head as a desktop, and a few others, but after awhile they started to make me feel creepy. We have such a powerful affinity with our planet .. it is us.

I explored up into the universe in dreaming, but when I got quite a distance from earth, I felt very strange, and headed back - bit of a coward I suppose.

Some have said that what manifests at stars (or invisible world for that matter) also manifests on Earth. It is just a matter of different levels. Stars and nebulas are very intriguing for me (not that I have been there).

When I was looking at those I kept thinking how eerie they seem.

I wounder what it would be like to transend our earthy existence, and develope affinity with another world.

I love pictures of the cosmos - the Eagle nebula is one of my favourites; the cradle of new born stars I find very evocative. I am trying to feel more 'earthed' and a better affinity with the beauty of our planet - for it is indeed beautiful with all its myriad lifeforms.
The stars, however, do call to me..

This one is likened to our own sun's 'future'
