Intro

From this distant vantage point

The Earth might seem of any particular interest

But for us, it's different

Considering and a dot

That's here

That's home

That's us

On it, everyone you love, everyone you know

Everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives

The aggregate or joy and suffering

Thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines

Every hunter and forager

Every hero and coward

Ever creator and destroyer of civilization

Every king and peasant

Every young couple in love

Every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer

Every teacher of morals

Every corrupt politician

Every super star

Every supreme leader

Every saint and sinner in the history of our species

Lived there on the moat of dust suspended in a sunbeam

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast, cosmic arena
