***** We Are Wanderers! An inspiring and profound speech from the late Carl Sagan *****
“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.” - Herman Melville, Moby-Dick.
"Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." - André Gide
A Carl Sagan follower wrote:
No one man has changed my life more than Carl and I didn’t even know who he was until two decades after his death. And yet I feel like I knew him.
Another wrote this cogent statement:
"I can almost imagine a time when our ancestors roamed the planet as hunters and foragers. How different it must have been, how truly free they must have felt. How many mysteries must have been hidden in the unknown for them. I'm thankful for all the technological miracles we enjoy today, but I still find myself imagining what it would have been like to live 20 thousand years ago."
In today's world we have a dichotomy of sorts: We have those who would destroy everything around them in hopes that they will lead the way to a socialist world... Then we have those who aspire to study the limitless tenets of science, the boundlessness of space and the universe... It is only when we take it upon ourselves to let go of the boundaries of the past and present and seek to understand the tomorrows of God's Universe... Carl Sagan takes you on a short journey; a journey of wanderers... Sit back, watch and listen as his story unfolds...
I hope you enjoy this and I trust that it will have strong meaning... Kerry
