chapter VI
airborne blue
All the stars are hanging in the air.
We try to remember... a cradle Earth, horizons unseen. New world in thirst for the arcane. We are singers of the gone. We remember, as along came life.
And nothing else matters.
The Moon darkened, the night descended deep within us. The light faded. The light of the Earth.
Look again at that dot.
That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love. Everyone you know. Everyone you ever heard of. Every human being who ever lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering. On a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
That’s here. That’s home. That’s us.
Now we don't know where we are. But still remember.
We are the chosen ones. Оh, don't you see? Born to switch to the speed of light and put an end to misery.
