From the north-west corner

.. of a brand-new crescent Earth...

Earth seen in Martian sunrise.

That little dot is everything we are. Sumerians to Shakespeare to The Scorpions. Dinosaurs to Deadheads. The sum total of our existence seen as a morning star.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed here at the moment.

Ooh, I like that.

I wouldn't be able to scream it, but I'd be able to say it with assurance. I just don't like screaming. Screaming that phrase in particular seems rather paradoxical... if it's true, saying it loudly won't make it more true, and if it's false, saying it loudly won't make it less false.
