When your a adult

Previously

…I was a speck, yes, but a speck connected to everything. The silence was no longer empty, but filled with the whispers of creation, the echoes of love that traversed the unfathomable void. A bittersweet peace settled over me, a quiet acceptance of the distance, of the sacrifice, of the enduring beauty of what I held within. I was a scientist, charting the stars, but I was also a son, a brother, a keeper of memories, forever bound to the faint, warm light of home. The stars above, and the Earth below, were both part of me now, two halves of a whole, forever intertwined in the grand, silent ballet of existence.
