When I look at close-up images of galaxies,

(No that can’t be right they must be cropped images

magnified of a single galaxy)

or a picture of a chunk of space teaming with many galaxies

within a narrow field of vision,

I get goosebumps.

You know what pictures I’m talking about.

Like the ones from the Hubble Space telescope.

I just shiver with excitement when I see those images

pondering the possibilities

filled with inescapable awe

mesmerized by its beauty and expansiveness.

I know I will never, ever know the answers

to my bazillion questions, thoughts, ideas, dreams, fantasies, beliefs and disbeliefs.

As I look at those images I just get lost in its beauty.

Look for yourself,

and ask with the wonderment of a child,

what is life like there?

You know, out there,

everywhere,

in all those places that are far far away,

but not here

that are teaming with life.

Millions, trillions, zillions of places where life exists.

All out there,

trapped in starlight.
