Fantastic photo! Congratulations on perceiving such magnificence. Reach out and embrace it. It's not as far off as you think. Thought is unlimited and unfettered. We are only bound by a belief in space, time, and limitation. One day we will all awaken to its falsity "and nothing shall be impossible unto [us]."
