The Cosmonaut

The Cosmonaut by Marco Goran Romano

What an eloquent example of what it means to live / love / work in the virtuality of what is called the Internet. In the past 17 years, I have been exploring a multi-dimensional world wide web of networks / hubs / lists / friends that each have embedded some of my memories / moments / images..

Still awed every day at all there is to learn / discover.

WAAITT poster

How should we then live? Always painful to survive those who just passed.. there is a sense of incompleteness that can’t hardly be put in words.. Kinda of wanting to put the world on hold while I take time to grieve and overcome my sense of loss. Nope. No time. Life goes on and on and that’s truly.. wonderful.

So from here we go to the future and beyond.
