Wanderlust: a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about

"The size and age of the Cosmos is beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends powerfully on how well we understand this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky."

Hi! Im a citizen of the Universe and I love it! The Universe is wide with its billions of galaxies each with billions of suns and trillions of planets! There is plenty to see and do in this existence!

I am an Explorer At Heart, a nomad, a wanderer. I move through the Cosmos and study it for what it is, I explore every system, every rock and every void. I show love for everything. I come, I see, I love and appreciate the true beauty of what is, then i move on. I may come back in time to visit but then I must continue on again.

I love the Appalachian Trail and plan to thru hike the full 2175 ATC in 2012!!

Eventually hope to become a Science Fiction Writer. Ive got tons of ideas in mah head :)

Note: My age is 21, not 32 like it says in the official Age slot.

Favorite Quotes

Carl Sagan

"One of the great revelations of space exploration
Is the image of the earth, finite and lonely
Bearing the entire human species
Through the oceans of space and time"

"The Cosmos is rich beyond measure - in elegant facts, in exquisite interrelationships, in the subtle machinery of awe."

"A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way"

"The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it
But the way those atoms are put together"

"We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers"

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we would go nowhere. -- Carl Sagan

"For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

"For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love. Carl Sagan (Contact)"

"The cosmos is also within us. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself."

"I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky"

"Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves, but to that cosmos, ancient and vast from which we spring."

"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."

"Science is the poetry of reality" -Richard Dawkins

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function." —F. Scott Fitzgerald

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." -Issac Asimov
