lyrics

Have you ever heard of that book by Frank White, The Overview Effect? That book made an enormous impression on me. It’s all about the shift in a drifting astronaut’s consciousness… The urge to protect those tiny beings adrift below that infinitesimal layer of atmosphere seen from above.
It's a perspective that pulls when confronted with our own fragility; like the feeling of when we are surrounded by nature’s majesty, times infinity.

In limbo in the cockpit of a spaceship,
untethered, loose profound.
In the cosmic space surround those men and women whose intellect demands a search for answers to questions renowned, they find…

a connection with each of us;
with each, and every one of us.
A fundamental deep resonance --
How Lilliputian we are, how fragile, how precious…
There is no individual.

To them is revealed a pattern --
We have not yet found the solution.

We are an endangered species;
and the largest threat comes from none other than ourselves.

When our heroes and heroines descend to this planet again, they are often changed. The connective brought about by the reflective contemplation of our world juxtaposed with the infinite of the cosmos, alters them. They cease to see ‘I’, let the ego go and wish it well, and struggle to communicate the truth, the beauty in being one wholly co-dependent race. Seemingly in a state of grace they seek to mitigate damage done by our propensity, to hate.
