I have recently joined this scientific site which has been set up to find planets orbiting other stars. There is a full tutorial which takes minutes only, then you can be searching for new worlds. And if you find the transit of a new planet you are given full scientific credit for the discovery. Now, did you ever think you'd have the chance to do that?

A dream of flight.
I fall asleep…
the way a
child does.
the way a child does on a
summer afternoon… beneath a shady tree
on grass warmed by the sun
sleeping like a child
nestled into his mother
without fear of what
dreams may come
I fall asleep without care
that I may never wake
the sleep of contentment,
of innocence.
As I sleep I dream of
Icarus…
rising high into a golden
sky
I dream that I am Icarus,
we are one, the same
his thoughts my thoughts,
my body his body
Icarus and I, one being,
one becoming
Soaring so high above the
ocean…
set aflame by a dying sun
Below us myriad starlings
sweep back and forth,
as if they have one mind,
one purpose
like us, like Icarus and I
each different, unique;
and yet, the same
Rising on warm air
currents, higher and higher we go
the sky itself seems to
hold us aloft.
Hair, glowing, radiant,
blew about our face
eyes wide with wonder,
with joy, with quintessence
Arching our spine;
swooping through the black mass
each bird moving, creating
space through which we pass
reading our mind, knowing
our actions
with our passing they
regroup
Below two figures stand on
the surf’s edge
we dive, our wings swept
back as we cut through sky.
By the time I turn back to you, your
attention has moved; you are on your knees pulling damp sand together into a
small mound. I lower myself down next to you, watching for a moment as you take
the sand from the featureless desert that it was and begin to construct
something new, something unique. Watching your little hands work so delicately,
I swallow hard. My child, my beautiful child. My son. Joining you in your work
I take your instructions as we build. Your smiling face looks up at me, so full
of joy, so full of life.
The prologue from Quintessence.
The questioner becomes the answer to
the question asked.
She spoke in a whisper, ‘It is all we
are.’
Music. Music that rises up out of the
abyss, so dark, so deep. The music of quintessence. Of the shape and form of
the world. Of the man.
