A childs question

A few days ago, my daughter (age 7) and I were out looking at the stars and she asked me a question that really humbled me and put the universe in perhaps a bit sharper perspective for me...she asked me where stars were born. it was one of those moments that just brings a tear to your eye on the spot...

I answered her with a question, rather than tell her the scientific viewpoint I asked her where SHE thought that they were born...the conversation that followed will live on with me for the rest of my days. the innocence of a child is perhaps one of the most beautiful things in this universe.

this image was inspired by that moment. been working on it off and on since that night and I'm happy to share it with you all. looking at it really brings me right back to that moment.
