Quote by Natalie York

“As it happens, I am trying to walk on stars. Which I think, personally, is more impressive than trying to walk on water. It's just simple math. Stars are pretty far apart, you know. Anyways, I'll let you know how it goes.”

“Neotnia translates his words: ‘When I was a little boy, my parents didn’t dance, but they loved to take me camping. I remember being around a campfire much like this one and gazing at the stars with them. I noticed how some showed brighter than others, and some twinkled at different rates. I asked what they were, and my parents told me the stars were kami. “Beautiful, shining kami in the sky. All different. All unique. Just like us.” I had never heard the word before, so assumed “kami” was simply another name for“people”. After that, whenever we went camping, I would always tell my parents I couldn’t wait until nightfall so I could see the beautiful shining people in the sky.”

“She missed the simplicity of Dunia’s clearest, darkest skies, pristine and unencumbered from light pollution. The vast canvas of distant galaxies, nebulas, meteorites and shooting stars had always left her in awe. She often went stargazing on the beach outside her father’s official residence, lying on her back looking up at the heavens as she lost herself in their rich, ancient, mysterious beauty.”

“Eres producto de millones de años evolución. Una evolución que posee el atributo de ir hacia arriba en lo complejo. El animal hace contacto con la naturaleza; pero tú, además, haces contacto con tu interior. Pues es auto-conciencia, la capacidad de pensar sobre lo que piensas. Eres materia transformándose en espíritu. Tienes la increíble misión personal de conocerte a ti mismo. Cuando te auto-observas y te descubres, es el universo entero el que se observa a sí mismo. Eres un momento, un instante fugaz en la inmensidad del cosmos, pero formas parte de un proceso en expansión universal, infinitamente mayor, que te contiene. Todos estamos de paso y vamos de regreso a casa. Viniste a contemplar la creación, a mirarla, a disfrutarla y a cuidarla. Somos obreros del universo. Polvo de estrellas, como dicen. En nosotros se reproduce la historia de toda la humanidad, y tú puedes tener acceso a ella.”
