Cosmic Freedom From Mundanity

I want to soar amongst the stars and the planets and the moons,Envisioning possibilities of the Universe, exotic wonders of reality,I want to gaze backwards and forwards through time at will,Dwelling on the providence of life and the Universe and why it's all there; Then I am brought crashing back down to Earth as I … Continue reading Cosmic Freedom From Mundanity →
