Truth

Parents, sons, daughters, wives and husbands, every moment, day and year of your life you make decisions based on what you believe and know at the time. Sometimes you make those decisions with so much clarity and knowing, that life works itself out- even when there were/are rough spots along the way. Sometimes, what you know now would have worked life out differently.

Pluto - Cast Off and Treated Like a Bum

I am in mourning for an old friend. I am depressed. Along with his eight siblings, Pluto is the guy I grew up with. Like the unwanted weakling of a herd of wildebeest roaming the Serengeti plains of East Africa, dear Pluto has been racially profiled a dwarf, stripped naked, nudged out of the family, discarded and condemned to eternally wander the vast emptiness of space, alone and forgotten. Having spent years of my youth at the wondrous Hayden Planetarium, kid sister to an older brother's passion for astronomy, I too developed a strong sense of connection to the mysteries of what's out there. Comets and asteroids come and go, but a planet is a thing of beauty forever.
