This morning I talked about slices of my past I don't usually share, because it's a Whole Thing to review one's life anew.

It was a good exercise, though, because what I was really practising was trusting others again.

It also reminded me why I've always loved learning about the cosmos.

Our universe is filled with such wonders beyond all our local sound and fury.

All our grandest, harshest histories are but a temporal blip on one pale blue dot.

But what a gift, to bear witness while we can.
