dear might not seem to have any
particular interest
do consider again that doesn't perhaps
here
that's home that's us
on it everyone you love
everyone you know everyone you ever
heard
every human being who ever was lived out
their lives
the air rebuilt or joy in suffering:
thousands of confident religions
ideologies and economic doctrines
every hunter and forager every hero in
coward every creator and destroyer
arsenals Asian
every kingman peasant every young couple
in love
inventor and its floor every teacher up
morals every corrupt politician
every superstar every supreme leader
every saint and sinner in the history of
our species
lived there on the motive dust
suspended in a sunbeam
the your is a very small stage
in a fast cosmic arena
think the rivers of blood
spilled by all those generals and
members
so that in glory and triumph they could
become the momentary masters
a fraction adopt
think beyond the school teach
visited by the inhabitants have one
corner blitz pixel
on the scarcely distinguishable
inhabitants
have some other corner how frequent
their misunderstandings how you really
are to kill one another
health fervent here he chips power
posturings our imagines self-importance
the delusion that we have some
privileged position in the universe
are challenged by this point
appeal light our climate is a looming
specter integrate
in developing cosmic dark Minar
obscurity in all this last-ditch
there is no hint but hope you come from
elsewhere
to c-bus from ourselves your
is the only world known so far to harbor
life there is no where else
at least in the near future to which our
species could migrate
visit yes settle
much it
like it or not
for the moment and Britain's where you
make our stay
character-building experience there is
perhaps no better demonstration
believe much each miss distant
team a four-time world to me
in the scores are responsible to be more
kindly with one another
the only home we've ever known
the people conduct
