Return to the Void.

It has been several days since I bid my farewells to my fellow humans in the inhabited regions and set off into the unknown once more.I had planned to resume my travels weeks ago yet other matters took up my time and I found myself thinking less and less of what was out there.
What changed my mind was a minor thing that easily would have gone unnoticed; a single lonely star, in a region where the skybox is near empty.
It brought to mind the days I spent in the forsaken darkness 2,500 LY below the galactic plane. That leg of the journey is still my most memorable and enjoyable times since I left the dock in my Sidewinder only weeks ago.
I remembered that I had time to think, to write and to embrace the mindset it put me in.
Microlepidotus had been waiting at Greeboski and now I could honestly climb into the pilot seat, promise her I'd try to be careful and hit LAUNCH.
It was hard to leave, harder than it was last time. I was actually leaving a lot more behind this time and for the first few 5,000 LY I was tempted to go back several times. Yet I did not return. Not now. Not yet.
Because as much as I enjoy all that the bubble and what is in it offers me, it is clear to me, that the Void is where I belong.
Not forever, not always. But it knows and it is patient. My soul it already in its possession.
