quarantine.

Posted on March 19, 2020 by beth

home and in self-imposed quarantine

soon to venture back out

to the stars, the blue sky, the river, and the woods.

—

‘the vast differences that separate the stars are providential.

beings and worlds are quarantined from each other.

the quarantine is lifted only

for those with sufficient self-knowledge and judgement

to have safely traveled from star to star.’

-carl sagan
