The plants we eat or smoke are trying to ask us what we are up to; the animals are signalling to us in our dreams or in forests; the whole Earth is rumbling; straining to let us remember that we are of it, that this planet, the macrocosm is our flesh, that the grasses are our hair, the trees are our hands, the rivers our blood, that the Earth is our real body and that it is alive.”<br/><br/> - <em>David Abram  (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wiintersolstice.tumblr.com/">wiintersolstice</a>)</em>http://vinterblot.tumblr.com/post/48012925908http://vinterblot.tumblr.com/post/48012925908Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:30:36 -0430<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/455134dbefb9b9f099f73fdcab134b98/tumblr_ml9852V4yA1ro87l9o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e055970bc833320f1605da7aa022b81e/tumblr_ml9852V4yA1ro87l9o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://heathenharnow.tumblr.com/post/47963728497/minnen-fran-forna-dagar-iii-i-ii-torsten-lat">heathenharnow</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/HeathenHarnow">Minnen från forna dagar</a> III (I-II)<br/><em>“Torsten lät resa denna sten efter sig själv och sin son Hävner.Till England hade den unge kämpen farit.

In fact, clumps of dust and molecular gas <a href="http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Cyberia/Bima/StarForm.html">collapsing</a> to form stars may well lurk within the dark nebula, a structure that spans almost 40 light-years across this <a href="http://www.astrodonimaging.com/gallery/display.cfm?imgID=227">gorgeous telescopic portrait</a>. Known as a <a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070806.html">cometary globule</a>, the swept-back cloud, extending from the lower right to the head (top of the tower) left and above center, is shaped by intense ultraviolet radiation from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_association#Types">OB association</a> of very hot stars in <a href="http://www.aao.gov.au/images/captions/aat072.html">NGC 6231</a>, off the upper edge of the scene. That energetic ultraviolet light also powers the globule’s bordering reddish glow of <a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap051223.html">hydrogen gas</a>. Hot stars embedded in the dust can be seen as bluish <a href="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap011228.html">reflection nebulae</a>.
