new horizons.

Key of F# minor (although the key is the G# diminished chord). All of a sudden and out of nowhere now just right there in front of me. No idea where this stuff comes from. But it's there now totally in my head and no way I can just fall asleep even though I'm dead tired from way too little sleep all week so far cos it's exploding.
I fly away scattered and absorbed
violet and blue atmospheres and hues
As Carl Sagan writes ~
"When we look up on a cloudless day and admire the blue sky, we are witnessing the preferential scattering of the short waves in sunlight. This is called Raleigh scattering ....
It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works – that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red?"
