go west young man

He didn’t believe in destiny, the stars or premonitions, and yet he was able to understand things, to make sense of most facts in life. He knew what he knew and he didn’t take for granted his journey on that planet orbiting a yellow star embedded in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, a galaxy that was itself part of the Virgo supercluster, one of millions of similarly vast entities dotted through the sky. Sometimes, he liked to focus on those terms of infinity, just feeling really, really small for a while. Time was probably the only concept that made him wonder and time away was what made him feel sad. As time passed by and the years started to endure he found out that solstices seemed to break equilibrium and he learned to persist on what is important in his life.
