As the sunsets if you look to the west, no matter where you
are in the world, you will be able to see Venus and Jupiter so clearly. They will shine for about four hours after
sunset. Venus is the larger brighter
star. Then if you look to the east you
will see Mars which has a reddish glow.
Mars will shine from dusk till dawn. During the month of April Saturn
will become visible too! If you want

We owe our life to the stars, we were born from them. Our bodies are made up of all the elements in
the periodic table and these come from the stars. Simply as we breathe we are exchanging
elements such as Carbon Dioxide with the trees and plants. The food that we eat comes from the earth, be
it plant or animal, and when we eat we are ingesting these elements, they are integrated
into the cells and atoms of our bodies.
Everyone of us are exchanging particles within our Universe, just by breathing. Throughout our lives we are continuously
replacing our essential elements within our bodies and when we die these are
broken down and go back into the Earth.
And the cycle of life goes on. So let us just think about this process,
this means that within our bodies we have particles from life on this planet
that lived millions of years ago! The
water on our planet is constantly being recycled through evaporation and
condensation, it is billions of years old and we drink it!
Beneath all natural phenomena there is a sense of order and consistency,
it is not rigid but free flowing, an energy which binds us together. We are all part of this energy force but we
have the choice and free will to go our own way. We all have the capacity to tap into this
limitless Universal Energy to carry us towards our greatest potential, but
sometimes we forget this in a time of crisis.
When facing a life limiting illness there are days when the darkness
consumes you and you feel trapped unable to progress to your true potential
because the medical treatment and decisions you have to make about it are
overwhelming. Many of us will have experienced points in our lives when we have
fallen into darkness and doubt. When we
hear ourselves saying, “What’s the point of it all?” these are the times when
you need to look into yourself, your true essence.
Sometimes when we try to enhance the quality of our lives we
put too much energy into filling our existence with “things to do” filling the
space around us to make us feel secure, because we have a need to belong to
something and not to feel alone. Have
you ever felt that sense of awe when seeing a natural beauty, like an
incredible sunset, a view from a mountain top and it consumes you and for that
moment you do not feel alone? This is a connection that our rational minds find
difficult to comprehend but it is also a time when you realise that the
physical things that we surround ourselves with have no real bearing on our
lives. Take time out and enjoy the
beauty around you. Do some sky watching; connect with the energies around you.
