The Heavens are Waiting
If we will understand ourselves, we will fly through the starry night as quick as thought. But the Star had to understand itself before it could shine it's light upon us. And likewise, these selfsame Heavens look upon us in their splendor and romance and flirt with us and say, 'come hither.' But we have not found ourselves yet. We continue to fight over ideas, over lands, over waters, and over slight faults, so that we remain Heaven-ignorant. But if we will approach the Quiet in ourselves, and love Love more than Strife, then Orion shall be our Home away from home. What Kingdoms must we conquer before we conquer that Kingdom? First ourselves in Love, then our neighbors' in Love, then our Cities' in Love and on the Country, and those fair Countries beyond. But we don't yet deserve to possess beyond the Moon. Our Love has not extended that far. Yet.
