Bowman, my dear, I have nothing to offer you in the subject of this thread. Your lives are sealed from you, and with good reason.

But if I may, I'd like to chat with you for a moment. I wish to offer you words of thought, and perhaps a little greater understanding and a direction for you to pursue.

Each time that I see your Avatar, it makes me smile. It is so very you. On many levels, your avatar represents what a pioneer you are. How very bold and beautiful your soul is.

When we think of people going into space, it reminds us of how infinitely tiny we are in all of this. You are a speck on a speck on a speck... But you are anything but insignificant.

The basic building block of all life isn't the molecule (as they once claimed it was). Nor is it the atoms or the particles that make those up... the basic building block of reality is energy.

We are 99.99999% space [to infinity]. Yet within that space is the tiniest spark of life. That infinitesimal spark of life, when gathered together with other sparks, becomes a horse, or a blade of grass, or a mountain.

In the universe, there are billions of billions of billions of colors.

We see... three.

In the universe there are musical frequencies and there are sounds both deep and high that human ears will never hear and human instruments will never be capable of measuring. We hear not even the tiniest speck of the whole range of sounds that exist.

I ask you to sit still and look around you. Look at how complete and how real it all seems. Isn't it amazing?

We're missing the majority of the universe entirely... and yet it all seems to complete.

You're an infinite soul with a body created to limit you. You are not an accident. It's impossible. You are precious, and you are an integral part of that universe you long to explore again.
