Aime; I enjoy perusing your thought provoking observations of life; and found your Carl Sagan's Blue Dot posting to be an excellent one. Carl Sagan has always entrigued me with his unique ability to peel away the layers of all the ego-superstitional perceptions that we have of ourselves; and just leave us standing raw naked at how insignificant and vunerable we are to the true elements of not only life; but to all the subtle actions and reactions surrounding us as a whole..."Folks, we're just along for the ride".

Thank you Simbu, I noticed you have followed my blog for some time, and for that I'm an encourage human. My older brother, who is near the end of his life has asked me to have this played at his memorial service and to have on his grave stone, a pale blue dot.
