Seti

I am like those SETI-scientists, clinging on radiowaves; noise-melodies from outer space, questing after truth with huge telescopes and scanning the visible light with satellites, seeking desperately the limits of worlds apart, searching for signs of intelligent life in the desired-to-know universe. Just to communicate with the extra-terrestrial; to achieve certainty: there is someone out there, someone, who is different, yet alike, who is able to speak my thoughts without knowing my language, who still can easily translate my feelings into the secret programcode of the universe. An astral-traveler, who can tame the waves of gravity, someone, who is faster than the speed of light and could eat the distance between us. To be my interstellar compass; my one and true guidance, to help me explore this unfathomed life. Someone, as David Bowie sang at once, who is able to believe the strangest things, who is able to love the alien.
