My conversation with him was one of listening. Listening to how he could never do enough, or be good enough, for his parents. He could never be good enough to please God… or so he was taught. At which he said “why even try”. He told me he was estranged from his parents and wasn’t…
Over the past half century we have reached the moon. We have split the atom. We cloned animals and human flesh. In the past twenty years we have discovered an endless space. We use to believe there were six stars for every human. Now we know there are six galaxies for every human. Our phone…
The moon… cold and void… moved in line with the sun. Our sun. The source of light and human existence.
