the expanse

great minds

not lured in by the need

to assert power over

others,

but yet to invigorate

themselves &

others,

simultaneously,

hand the baton of

knowledge, practice,

discovery, utilization &

progress,

from hand to hand

(as one dies the next

begins---like one candle

lighting another

infinitely),

in an ever expanding

fascination,

when staring out into

the cosmos,

egging on the populace,

whose own growing love

for science is something

so beautiful that it evades

description---

one just has to smile,

having enough time in a day

to sit down with a fresh

book/ebook,

taking the moment to embrace

the personal unknown,

in the attempt to continue

fostering a scientific literacy

within,

so that very understanding

can be passed on,

from friend to friend,

family member to family

member, parent to child &

between children,

in hopes of widening our

minds,

together---

regardless of all those

useless, dogmatic cogs,

who would have us do

otherwise.
