realisation: the dwelling is the crux of the problem. all our modern woes come from our relationship with the spaces and environment we inhabit. real estate is in a fucked up place and that makes us all miserable. we are all obsessed with houses in one way or another. the development of urban centres is something we're all implicated in. the earth, the soil, the asphalt, the space! vertical, abandoned, virtually empty or tragically overcrowded. it's all meeting here.

Isn’t it adorable that we humans were given the chance to tame an infinite cosmos and the first thing we did was make friends? We sang and drew and carved our names in rocks and pet anything within reach because we are desperately obsessed with connection

and isn’t it grand how we stared at the sky, an inky abyss ever ready to suck us down and dreamed of whales and colors and more friend to have! We held our hands to the sky and envisioned hands reaching back, just waiting to hoist us up to join them.

and oh how I love the way we dream and ponder and share. Didn’t we raise our children on Once Upon A Times in Far Off Lands? Haven’t we always had a once upon a time to dream of? Aren't we kings and castles and magic and science and space and always moving forward, reaching for the next threshold, seeking the next frontier.

I can’t help but love a species that makes friends out of hunters. I can’t help but adore a kind that want nothing more than to not be alone.

okay but imagine the complete and total isolation of being the Mars rover. to be manufactured by human hands and then sent out millions of kilometres from earth to this uninhabited red planet of which you’re the only ‘resident’ (?) and to stay there. i know it’s a machine ik but that’s just so…sad.
