If I were a kitten I would have purred while curled up softly around my heart settled in a ray of sunshine in front of the windows facing west listening to the bird conversations that tickled my ears with the scent of newly warm Spring air after a day of rain. All that flowed out from within was the spark that rose to the yet unseen stars.
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
Carl Sagan
“A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.”
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities.”
Gloria Steinem
