"Here's one of my earliest memories."
*shows a clip of said memory*
"That was a long time ago. But it's imprint has not faded in the library of this brain"
Cosmos: A Personal Voyage: Carl Sagan
Damn... I've tried to explain this so many times, but my caveman brain is so convoluted that I've never been able to state it without trying to explain the context of said memory. Well articulated Mr. Sagan.
I often go back to this excellent series when I'm needing some hope for humankind. Happy Earth Day, all. 🌎
"How perilous our infancy.
How humble our beginnings.
How many rivers we had to cross to find our way."

I'm really not an ecology guy, or a world-peace guy, but "Pale Blue Dot" always really gets me thinking. We are all what Douglas Adams called "an invisible dot on an invisible dot, infinitely small".
Maybe we all oughta work together to take care of our Pale Blue Dot and everyone who's on it.
