When I look at the stars, and especially the moon, I think of all the creatures and plants that have lived under these celestial bodies and basked in them from all angles on our planet. I feel connected back through generations and have hope for those yet to come. The Universe abides, regardless of what we do here.
My go-to plant is lavender, which reminds me of my grandmother, as your sweater connects you to yours. My fruit trees and roses need pruning and the rampant weeds must be corralled before I can think of a garden! Got to wait til the rain stops.
This is a beautiful - thank you for sharing. I also look up at the sky and think about the generations that have walked this planet before us. The stars seems to connect us to our ancestors.
I shared some of my thoughts on what I think about when you gaze up at the sky as well as my attempts to answer questions like "What’s my purpose? Why was I born in this time period? How did I get here? As I grew up, those existential questions evolved. What am I meant to learn? Does the soul live on forever?" in this post :
My grandma passed away last winter. I've been using a blanket of hers with a wonderful winter horse scene one it. It makes me feel connected as well! Also have a potted rosemary plant my wife uses for cooking!
I love that you can still connect with your grandma through her blanket. That's beautiful. And rosemary has so many health benefits:) It's an herb that is so easy to grow and use.
Thank you for the herb recommendations Grace. Its summer here in Australia so the perfect time to plant. When I look up in awe at the sky at night, a quote from Marcus Aurelius comes to mind which I visit often, "Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them."

I love that quote. So powerful. Looking up at the night sky is an invitation to dwell on the beauty of the world.
I can smell the herbs! My favorite so far are lavender, mint and rosemary.
Those are excellent herbs to use. So easy to grow too.
