Sometimes I like to imagine my consciousness onboard Voyager 1, hurtling through space.
First, seeing some of the wonders of our solar system up close. Then, sending my final goodbye and passing through the heliosphere. Leaving your planet is one thing, but leaving your star…
I’m alone, the silence is deafening, maybe I should put on a record.
Traveling for tens of thousands of years and more, if the plutonium holds out. This is sci-fi, I’ll figure out a way.
Maybe I should read a library or two to pass the time. Probably take a few naps.
Then to finally arrive and see that they all have been anxiously waiting for me.
I made it and what a warm welcome.
I put a great deal of thought and work into each piece I create. From building my own canvases to researching information, so that I have an understanding of what I am painting.
