Earth, Venus, and Jupiter...as seen from Mars.

See that luminous dot on the bottom?
That’s us.
Everyone you’ve ever loved.
Everyone you’ve ever lost.
Every teacher, every artist
Every dreamer, every sage
Everyone you ever disagreed with
Everyone you’ve hurt
Everyone who has ever hurt you

Every joy, every heartbreak
Every year, every dream
Every leaf
Every fish
Every soaring bird
Every breeze
Every thunder
Every morning dew

All together
Luminous
One dot in a celestial heaven

Let us live in harmony
