Collective inspiration.
Nature, stars, books, and everything I want to celebrate.

Lewis, my captor, I’ll have you know that morality is under my gloves now. Good for you. I have noticed how red it is in any light, regardless of bulb intensity or fractal limits. “I am a degenerate.” Wait for the red light to say it. I shall wait for the tone. Are you still speaking to me? Or have your radio waves become as impersonal as a one-way bridge in the slanted sway of trees?
Milky Way
This name derives from its appearance as a dim “milky” glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars.

That famous writer’s block is a myth as far as I’m concerned. I think bad writers must have a great difficulty writing. They don’t want to do it. They have become writers out of reasons of ambition. It must be a great strain to them to make marks on a page when they really have nothing much to say, and don’t enjoy doing it. I’m not so sure what I have to say but I certainly enjoy making sentences.

When Galaxies Collide: A Gallery of Stellar Chaos
In about 4 billion years, the Milky Way will collide with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. Colliding galaxies are surprisingly common, and the merging of smaller star systems likely led to the evolution of larger star systems that we see today. The stars within colliding galaxies probably don’t collide, but the gravitational chaos can alter planetary positions and star locations.
Wired has a great gallery of colliding galaxies for your chaotic beauty needs. And because looking at them isn’t enough, Galaxy Zoo has a Java app that lets you create, and then collide your own galaxies.

Check out this video made with images created by NASA. It shows Earth’s night sky during the next four billion years, with the Milky Way on a head-on collision with Andromeda. The destruction of our galaxy as we know it will be so beautiful [gizmodo]
