Very interesting indeed... time waits for no one! In this puny world of man called earth, time is of essence. Out there in the vast expanse of the universe time is eternity. The nearest star to our solar system is arcturus and is 4.3 light years away. If I send you love letter via email from arcturus, you will receive it in 4.3 years, and you reply then I will receive it back after 4.3 years. With this time scale in mind, the diameter of the milky way is 150 thousand light years. For mankind, that is eternity.
I used to travel the midnight express, commuting on weekends to a job eight hours away. I never failed to stop along the way, rest and lay back and watch the sky. Without city lights, I can see the starlights in full splendor - feasting my eyes on eternity.

Eternity is a long, long time! Pray, do tell, can someone wait for another person beyond eternity?
I wonder......

If ever I receive a letter from the 'alien world', I would immediately send a reply, if only to save a moment or two, so that it could reach someone like you.

But why would you be on arcturus or whaccahamaccalit place....?

This is the IT world, and people send messages in a sec!

I always make it a point to smell the roses and savor looking at the alitaptap on some clear nights....
Makes me feel it is, indeed, a great world!

Cheers!
