Yes Bert, I can really relate to that. There is so much beauty in science!
That, and/or the fact that I'm a expatriate alien from stars far, far away and I really miss my true home.
We are children of the stars, both physically and metaphorically and we yearn for what we were, like salmon swimming upstream or birds migrating from one hemisphere to the other.
Or maybe we're just a bit "touched".
We yearn for beauty and awareness. Is this not as it should be?
