"Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often. But if you take take some risks, step up when the times are the toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden and never, ever give up — if you do these things, the next generation and the generations that follow will live in a world far better than the one we have today and what started here will indeed have changed the world for the better."
~ US Navy Admiral William H. McRaven

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ~ Frank Herbert

There is a disconnect between the world in which our bodies, minds, emotions and behaviours evolved, and the world in which we now live. Traits that were essential to our survival as a species are now the cause of our undoing.

Gratitude is good. But it's not enough to be grateful. You need to express your gratitude to those who evoked that response in you. The expression doesn't have to be literal or linear.

Do your part. Whatever that part might be. Figure out what your part is. Then do that part. Do that part with love and gratitude, and with no expectation of recognition or remuneration.

I have a gift for you.
It will arrive tomorrow morning.
I can’t tell you what it is.
But I want you to know I wish I could have given it to you sooner.
I couldn't.
There were reasons.
You will be confused.
You will find that no one understands.
But know that everything of the last 10 years happened exactly
as you remember it, eventhough you will be the only one who remembers me.
Time for bed.
Sleep tight my friend.
I love you beyond measure.

5. Physics.

"Mr. Jones. The fact that we can communicate in real time when you are apparently 300 light years from Earth doesn't disturb you?"

"I'm worried about running out of water, food and toilet paper. I'm worried about pathogens, the weather, radiation. Being able to talk with you right now isn't high on my list of worries."

Dr. Tam stepped in. "I think we can all agree this is an extraordinary situation. The physics of it needs research. And the stellar mapping needs more work. Mr. Jones ... we have more to ask of you. We would like you to take more pictures of your night sky."

At times you will think you have failed yourself. But that very thought means you haven't. Continue on.

2. Banana

I opened the door and stepped outside. There was a bit of a drop that I wasn't expecting ... just a few inches. But enough to cause me to stumble and almost fall. I knew right off that something was wrong. The sky was a pale yellow. Pale yellow. From edge to edge to edge. In later days I would google 'shades of yellow' to attach a word to it: Banana.

And there was a moon. Not 'the' moon. A different one. At about 45 degrees above the horizon. About three times the size of  'the' moon. And it had a ring around it. A Saturn-like ring.

I was not on Earth. A wave of confusion washed over me. My knees buckled. I crumpled to the ground.
