“Often we treat certain aspects of ourselves as junk, having no value. We try to throw parts of ourselves in the garbage. But a human being is an ecosystem, and everything in that system is of value to the whole.” Stephen Schwartz

If you want to find yourself, you needn't look far... The real you isn't hidden under a dozen rocks, or found in the addictions that hold you up... Who you are, who you need to face and embrace, is the you that you feel when facing the mundane.

Here In the emptiness, I find myself

hiding between pillars of fear

oh missing parts, fancy that~

Facing me fills me!

Have you ever heard of the amazing and inspirational Carl Sagan?

Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, author and science communicator. Why inspirational? Well, there are many intelligent beings in the world but not all of them are capable of communicating and appealing to the people like Carl Sagan did. Carl Sagan did this through his books and various media (The Cosmos being especially popular). 

Why bring him up now?

Well, today, along with many other humans, Carl Sagan was born 78 years ago on November 9th 1934. So happy Carl Sagan Day! 

“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.” - Carl Sagan.

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the Universe”. - Carl Sagan.

The Mirror

Mirror on the wall tell me who I am the answer to my question is held in my reflection. helps, but not the same.

I can't feel me, but I see me Where is the map to the image you reflect?

I am not there. What I see is not me. Mirrors and lights refract like a prism in the air try to hold it, but I'm not there. tell me who I am tell me what you see Am I here? Do I exist?

I need a map to me.
