Do you trust your work? Do you trust yourself enough to let your work go wherever it wants to go, to be authentic?

His name is Brother Guy Consolmagno, and he is a Jesuit Brother and also an MIT trained research astronomer and he is currently the Director of the Vatican Observatory, making him in colloquial terms, the Pope’s Astronomer.
