And there goes... half a year!
Alot has happened in the mean time and kept me busy, which feebly explains the silence here. However, there is a post I have been meaning to write for quite some time now already and wanting to finally write it, was the best motivation to sit down and put fingers to keyboard once again.
Many of you surely know the picture on the left and the accompanying prose by Carl Sagan. The tiny bright spec in the orange-ish line on the right is our Earth, photographed from 6 billion kilometers away.
I feel it is refreshing to revisit it once in a while and refocus one's perspective. And for those who don't know it, you are in for a treat.
I would suggest you follow this link to the video soundfile of Carl Sagan's narration:
I hope it remains available. If not, just search for "Carl Sagan - A Pale Blue Dot".
There is not much to add to his words. What they do is put things into perspective. They allow you to reassess what you feel may be important.
Perspective and especially a change of perspective, as I feel Carl Sagan offers in this piece, are both incredibly important concepts and I will be dedicating several posts to them soon (I hope).
For now, I just want to leave you with the thoughts and inspirations that this short and powerful quote creates for you.
