Moonbeam Drinkers! I love that. I agree, Jason. It is so *thrilling* to see the planets. My husband and I recently got to look through the huge telescope at UNC Planetarium. It was a cloudy night and the guide was apologizing that we wouldn't be able to see a nebula. "But here you go. Look at this," he said like it was no big deal. And I gasped when I saw Saturn-- RINGS AND ALL!!! OMG! So cool.🪐
That's such an incredible experience! I feel like Galileo every time I look through a telescope and can actually see the planets just like in the pictures! Humans are a wonder!
Thank you Jason! I am so grateful that this is your purpose. I have learned so much from your comments, your writing and the fact that you are beyond kind. That is a wonderful trait in anyone. You have opened my eyes to so much! Thank You 🙏🏼
Thank you - I am pretty slow at posting and reply with a 300 page novel on others! 😂 I will get into the swing of posting more soon ….. however long that is! 😂
Always - I think at this point in life, I am worried it has passed me by - which is of course ridiculous, yet it is there now & again. I have definitely found “friends” in common here and it has lifted my spirits! ✌🏻
Woke up this morning to your wonderful post, Jason. Sometimes, our purpose is hidden in plain sight until we notice it by sharing ourselves with others. Thank you!
Muslims say “Subahanallah” when they marvel at something like this. Its an appreciation of the magnificence of God’s creation. The honestly is no better purpose than admiring the beauty of the world around us.
Just beautiful!! Yes, humans are here to breathe and create connections between thoughts, between people and (tho this is unconcious) even between microorganisms.
We are the eye of
The Universe looking back
at itself. Thank you
we are the hands of
the Universe reaching out
with infinite love
What a gift you shared: wonder at the incredible.
Thank you!

It was so wild to see something I had only known in textbook-form as a Real Place. 🧠💥
As an astronomer I really appreciate this haiku, and the reflection that follows it.
Thanks! The night sky is something I never tire of looking at or learning about.
The Little Prince classic came to mind. Love this one❤️🪐
I love that book and the claymation movie from the late 1970s! I'm touched that you thought of that marvelous work from this comic! Thanks!

Ha! There's no time limit on our progress. There's always more for each of us to learn and master

It's already been said, but I too wanted to thank you for your kindness and I love "Moonbeam Drinkers!" It could become a great haiku too.
Thank you! Now, I'm going to have to write a haiku with moonbeam drinkers in it!
Yay!!
Jason, this brought tears to my eyes. It is spot on, to be awestruck by the beauty of nature which surrounds us 24/7. Thank you.
Thanks!
A man who has truly found his purpose.
Thanks, Peter!
Jason, you have found your purpose, you are doing a damn good job at it and I thank you.
That's kind of you to say, Weston, thanks!

Thanks for your kindness! I think you're right that often self discovery only comes from sharing with others

Love the work!
Thank you! "Subahanallah” is a beautiful sentiment.
Love it!
Thanks!
Can’t think of more glorious purpose than this!
Thanks!
What a beautiful example to set for and with them, too..... stopping, looking..... accepting what we do and don't know... being amazed....
These kids (teens now) are pretty good examples to me too
Just beautiful!! Yes, humans are here to breathe and create connections between thoughts, between people and (tho this is unconcious) even between microorganisms.
Thanks! Yes everything is connected!
