It's almost time...
Around the March equinox … fireball season.A fireball is just an especially bright meteor. Northern spring and southern autumn – for a few weeks around the March equinox – is a good time to see one. It’s fireball season — a time of year when bright meteors appear in greater numbers than usual. In fact, in the weeks around the equinox, the appearance rate of fireballs can increase by as much as 30 percent, says NASA.
And then finally
April 23, 2015 before dawn, the Lyrids
The Lyrid meteor shower – April’s shooting stars – lasts from about April 16 to 25. Lyrid meteors tend to be bright and often leave trails. About 10-20 meteors per hour can be expected at their peak. Plus, the Lyrids are known for uncommon surges that can sometimes bring the rate up to 100 per hour. Those rare outbursts are not easy to predict, but they’re one of the reasons the tantalizing Lyrids are worth checking out around their peak morning. The radiant for this shower is near the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra, which rises in the northeast at about 10 p.m. on April evenings. In 2015, the peak morning is April 23, but you might also see meteors before and after that date. The waxing crescent moon will set in the evening, leaving a dark for watching this year’s Lyrid shower.

Rain makes everything beautiful
Nothing baffles the schemes of evil people so much as the calm composure of great souls. -Gabriel Riqueti Mirabeau
What is soul? Soul is conscious of good and evil, rejoicing over kindness, weeping over injury. Since consciousness is the inmost nature and essence of the soul, the more aware you are the more spiritual you are. Awareness is the effect of the spirit: anyone who has this in abundance is a man or woman of God.
-Rumi
Wake up, Become aware, leave material things behind and embrace the magnificence that surrounds you
By day each soul must walk within its shadow.
Only night can make us whole again...
Ye duniya mohabbat ki dushman ho gayi hai,
Mohabbat ab dosto kitabo me rahgayi hai,
Wo din beet gaye jab log pyar me jan diya karte
the,
Ab to husan ki pyasi duniya rah gayi hai,
Koi nahi sunta kisi ke dil ki sada,
Sabko dilon se khelne ki aadat si ho gayi hai..
The world is magnificent. Enormous.
...But compared to the
universe, it is but a spec.

We live on a rock, floating in the middle of somewhere. Those tiny sparkly dots you see in the sky are gigantic floating rocks as well, some thousands of times bigger than the earth or moon or sun.
Coming back to us.....
Be thankful. Do what your soul wants not what your mind pleases. Leave Ego and Pride behind. Be loyal and faithful. Be honest and true. Be YOU. The earth is an amazing place. We have but a few moments on it and we are incredibly lucky to be here. This may be the heaven 'they' speak of. Say what you feel, love who you want, help those who need it, and smile always. We are so incredibly lucky to be in the place we are today.
Difficulties are given to everyone, in different extremes. We are tested daily, throughout our lives. That is a part of life, however you interpret it.
Take a moment to think.
You live.
On a Rock
That Floats
In the sky
And is only one...of a billion
Just think of the magnitude of the universe.
We are part of it for a very short while.
Be amazed
Be thankful
You are very lucky to be here!
