Each time I look up into the sky,
I am amazed by the things that catch my eye. During the day, patterns and cloudformations come and go, and at night, the stars twinkle and shine bright, as if they know I’m watching them, and say ‘hello’. The sun itself gives us perpetual light, although the rotation of Mother Earth creates day and night. The problems which hold our attention, seem very important to us here, and even threaten our faith, our self-existence, and everything so dear. But if one gets the opportunity of leaving this planet, and seeing it from above, the focus of those thoughts begets a whole new meaning. As a result, the human comes out of it with a new appreciation of the word ‘love’. A love for the womb that gave us birth, and nurtured us, with a vision of a better future, and our place in the cosmos.
