The Milky Way
Whenever my view on the world turns bleak, when the trials and tragedies of life seem to press in too hard, I often find it helpful to close my eyes and remember my place in the universe. Somehow, taking my mind to the outer limits of existence helps bring me back to center. I remember how fleeting life is, and at the same time, how the eternal is ever present in this moment.
Now, instead of closing my eyes, I can just go to YouTube for this inspiring video, courtesy of the American Museum of Natural History and the Rubin Museum of Art:
This video is part of the Rubin Museum's new exhibit, "Visions of the Cosmos," a collection that features representations of the universe as they emerged over the course of human history, both East and West.
