Stardust

We are immeasurably extended in time and space. We form the material universe, the cosmic ebb and flow. This is all revealed with purpose and unfolds with systematic exposition; a demonstration of this inescapable cosmic process. We are the substance of substances. We are constituent elements. We are vital components. We are raw matter. We are stardust.

Spaced Out

Coasting stately, effortlessly through the Sun's prominence becoming our magnificence. Without these bright badges, brilliant buttons, and dazzling décor of heavenly bodies as twinkling slogans advertising themselves on a black canvas, we'd be sailing alone amidst black seas of infinity. The boundless, endless, unlimited, unforgiving, exceedingly great nature and extent of outer space. Tantalizing us, provoking us, taunting us, frustrating us, tempting us, enticing us to step outside our fraction of a dot. We must take direct aim with our sight and strive to take flight far out into the uncharted black waters, that is our target. Our imagination is already waiting for us, beckoning us. It's only a matter of time before we find the necessary strand of knowledge and erupt into space. You say "impossible". But impossible says "I'm possible."

Throw In the Towel

Yield to the superior force of that warm, friendly welcome. 
Surrender to that well-being of consolatory, feel-good territory. 
Submit to a complimented treatment of mental repose for the wayworn; 
Capitulate to a gentle and melodious retreat secluded in a shiny enchantment 
Of porcelain and metal that will infiltrate your innermost courtyard.
