Moon and Mars conjunction Oct 2020

Moon and MarsEither we stay on Earth and go extinct, or we become a multi-planetary species
– Quantum Biology Researcher, Adriana Marais-

I’m glad I am of an age where I don’t have to consider the question: Would I go to Mars?

I think I have become too attached to Earth but there’s nothing preventing me from sharing in the excitement when spacecraft are launched to Mars.

Until the time is right, I think I’d prefer if robots were sent instead of humans.

But we have to dream big….

The Place of the Golden Handle

..a life lived in bright light
or in deep dark shadows
lends no room for imagination
It’s on the boundary
between shadow and light
where your quest to perfection lies
that’s where you’ll meet the Terminator
and maybe one day
you’ll find the place
of the Jura Mountains
where the Golden Handle lies
