“It's true,' he begins, 'that the universe is this big, vast thing, and humans will probably never explore even a tiny fraction of it. But that doesn't mean we're alone or we're displaced from it. All these elements, everything around us, the building blocks of the Earth and life -- even the very air you're breathing -- originated from those stars. We're a part of them.

“How many men are on the football field at a time?鈥 he
asked us.
Eleven on a team, we answered. So that makes twentytwo.
鈥淎nd how many people are touching the football at any
given time?鈥
One of them.

“Big eyes, big smile,
Everything looks fine.
But if you look closer you'd see
The blocks she's building just to be
Above those obstacles, you see
But in reality she needs
To stay above, above and learn
To analize and watch them all
The steps, the ways she need to make
Everything looks very straight
And at the very end she wants
To go down, escape and run
To fight it all and just believe
That everything ok will be...”
