I am a strange girl experiencing a fascinating strange mood. I’m a very small thing in a great big scary world full of wonder.

That about sums it up. Add to it the fact that at the speed we can currently make a spacecraft travel it would take it 60,000 years to get to the nearest star (4 light years away), and that The Milky way is 100,000 light years across, and it is only one of billions of galaxies… Meanwhile, we strut and fret our hour upon the stage… 🙂
