The Earth spins around the Sun at 67k mph, which means that in my lifetime, I've traveled a relative distance of 13.4b miles, give or take a few thousand. It would take 20 hours moving at the speed of light to cover that distance, approximately 145 times the distance between the Sun and Earth.

That we have any control over our lives is an illusion. But, we can feel the light traveling from lifetimes away, a testament to the wonder of our existence. We are all stardust, appreciating the warmth from whence we came.

The benefits of expressing viewpoints under anonymity are vast. Any idea can be tested without fear. A thought experiment may be taken literally or misunderstood, but it will not linger with a name. However, I am not anonymous; I am me. With that understanding, I will keep my thoughts solely accountable to myself, wholly unbridled from being anything more or less.

This is not a diary; here, I instead intend to construct a map of my thoughts so they may be recorded, followed, critiqued, and experienced. I'm looking for connections, jumping from one road to the next, holding a destination in mind yet never envisioning the end. My hope is that it inspires and provokes. My hope is that I can learn more about myself from what others may find in me.

Also, I particularly enjoy random conversation topics with random people. Do feel free...
