my composition
exists
in an eternal loop
conscious and alive
non-existent and dead
unending
i fear not

natural
Carl Sagan (11/9/34 – 12/20/96) was an American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, and science communicator in astronomy and other natural sciences. – Wikipedia
If you were like me, you inhaled the show “Cosmos” in the 1980s. Carl Sagan contributed mightily to my understanding of our universe as well as the various sciences he was involved in. He was someone I looked up to and learned from. Sagan had a great mind and a deep compassion for the living. He helped me make sense of things in a world that doesn’t easily give you understanding. I will forever be grateful to have been exposed to his mind and his rationale.

I watched Cosmos in the 80s. Carl Sagan is one of the primary reasons I fell in love with science.

He was a great man, and his disappearance from our plane a great loss.
