The universe
is a big place.

Planets
and stars

swinging in
random directions.

that inspire
new questions

which move and
push people

in perpetual
wandering mode.

Some asking
questions,

searching
for new

answers to
old questions.

While others
are forever

committed
to making

comfortable
answers suitable.

This is how
the future’s shaped,

by the push and pull
and stretching

of an endless
universe

of inquisitive
voices that

have always
inspired

the minds
and spirits

of people
from the most

unexpected
places

in time
and space.

Can I get
an Amen?
