The Possibility of a Brand New World:


Several of the dwarf galaxies in the Hickson Compact Group 31 are slowly merging. Will the result of these galactic collisions be one big elliptical galaxy? Most assuredly.


The pictured galaxies of Hickson Compact Group 31 will pass through and destroy each other, millions of stars will form and explode, and thousands of nebula will form and dissipate before the dust settles and the final galaxy emerges about one billion years from now. The above image is a composite of images taken in infrared light by the Spitzer Space Telescope, ultraviolet light by the GALEX space telescope, and visible light by the Hubble Space Telescope. Hickson Compact Group 31 spans about 150,000 light years and lies about 150 million light years away toward the constellation of Eridanus.

REFLECTION:
"Energy is a great connector and integrator. It’s the common thread, skipping and dancing through everything. Everything is energy and matter, The Mysterious Everything...creative energy. Unimagined realities, many possibilities but remember, with dreams come responsibilities."Possibilities are only open to those willing to move through change and sometimes encountering and experiencing painful periods in our life.  New possibilities become available when we are ready to relinquish the old path, turn the corner and move in a different direction.  What is necessay to be ready to embrace change and new possibilities?   A release from fear and doubt.  The energy of transition, change, and possibilities is often blocked by are unwillingness to let go of our current way of being and doing.

It is my intention to be open to any and all possibilities the Universe sends to me.  I believe we can enhance our ability to recognize these possibilities by utilizing our conscious energy.  Sometimes we block our conscious energy by busyness or mindless preoccupation.  Keeping open minds, questioning our purpose and beliefs open us to the possibilities contained in our conscious energy.
