Lone Sailor.

Sailing in the stormy waters, unaware what lies ahead of me.  A million stormy days pass, and I can start to feel myself give up.  I wondered if this was my fate.  Almost giving into defeat.  I clear my heart to the possibility that I can ride out this storm too.  Oh but I shut my eyes and focus on my heart.  And I see you.  The strongest feet came along that pushed my boat away from the storm.  I see you.  You were always there, I just had to look in my heart. And you came.  Many stormy days came. But I rode them out with a smile knowing you were with me.  Now we sail together  And ride out every sunny day and storm together.  We were always meant to be one.  How could I forget you?!  I sail in the storm, but there is no sign of defeat. Our love helps us ride every wave together.  Sometimes, we dance on the boat to the infinite rhythms of the waves.

There is a certain innocence and optimism in thinking that Science has all the answers. We live in 2021 how can it not?! There is such beautiful naivety in that belief. Nowadays, many of us  are conditioned to be evidence based and we should be thankful to our education system for that. Generally, we don't make decisions in life without data backing it. At work or at home we make well-researched decisions backed by data and evidence, and when we do not have enough data, we generate forecasting data models and hypotheses to answer the questions using the power of the mind. To the ancient humans, when they saw the Solar Eclipse, they didn't have the scientific explanation behind it - so they had other hypotheses - wild ideas. As humans in 2021, of course we know why the solar eclipse happens, we know the science behind it. So for all the things we do not know, one could draw the conclusion that all the things we do not know or do not understand are just scientific evidence waitin

Are we all astronauts already?

When I was young, I had a book on the solar system that explained concepts of outer space - the joy I felt looking through the pictures and reading all about the stars and planets as a young child! It was thrilling. Ever since then, I wanted to go to Outer Space until I experienced 2020. Ah 2020 - I'll get to that year in a bit. Separately, I also recently watched this film - This is Mars - compiled from NASA's Perseverance Rover on Mars. In the film, Mars looks just like some parts of the Earth. So if it is all just the same, why do I want to go Space? Isn't Space on Earth too? Am I not in Space already? I'm already on the third planet revolving around the brightest star in our Solar System. Then why am I so charmed with the idea of visiting Outer Space when Space is right here on Earth?! To add to that, I already throw around space a bunch in my daily life -  "I need some space. " "I want to go to Space! " "I hit space to see a space betwee
