Children of the Cosmos

The Cosmos...

Derived from the Greek verb "to order",

"to arrange",

"to harmonize".

The Cosmos, in all its immensurable vastness

is composed of billions of galaxies,

which, in turn, are composed of millions of solar systems,

composed of hundreds of thousands of stars...

... all in harmony.

Planet Earth...

A small, suspended dome

to which the Cosmos, in all its wisdom

has conferred its greatest creation,

and perhaps its true purpose...

... Life.

By way of an infinite current of events

which stretches endlessly beyond our comprehension,

at one point, there came to be...

... us.

We human beings,

the result of billions of years of evolution,

transformation and transmutation,

have been looking up at the skies in wonder

ever since our very emergence as a species.

We have been equally blessed and cursed

with an eternal thirst for knowledge.

And that thirst is what drives us...

... further.

What lies beyond our star-scattered skies?

Who was it that created us?

And who created our creators?

Today we are able to glimpse,

even if only in passing,
