The Silence
29 May 2019ZenFlavor
After many months of preparing for the dream of visiting Sagittarius A,* I began the journey. Knowing how long it would be, at the onset, it did not seem too daunting. I hit my first way point after about some 2000 lys. I was feeling good about the trip. Stopping off along the way to scout out some systems. Doing exactly what I was expecting to do during this fun journey. It was not long after that when the silence started to become more than just what was not being said.Throughout the travels, I would play some music, or sing, or do something to break up those long moments of ambient noise. The more I hear those peaceful pauses, the more I understand why I was drawn to this journey. We often don't fully understand why we do things under after we do them. Within this silence, I am able to be with my thoughts and see what is beyond this ship. I am able to see the deeper beauty that is all around me. In the stars, the colors, the darkness. So much beauty that I have taken for granted. So much more beauty to see.
As I reach my second way point, I am nervous to see where this journey take me and my mind. I have heard of the insanity than can come from too much time out in the dark, but this bliss feels too good to not continue.
