A long time ago, the first stars - and those that followed - ended their lives in tremendously energetic explosions, creating every single piece of what we are made of, and ultimately leading to you reading this.

The Observer
Destined to watch and observe. Knowing every single detail of the earth and the heavens, but always forbidden to intervene. Only watch he could. Passively, hidden. And, once in a while, full of the deepest fury.

Into pieces
I break myself into a million of pieces
Rolling along the waves
Flying across the skies,
And whenever I try to put myself together
I realize
There’s no-one here.
Rolling along the waves
Flying across the skies,
And whenever I try to put myself together
I realize
There’s no-one here.
Stars
For eternity we’ve dreamed
Stared.
Seeking light.
Purity.
Stars as Gods.
And an eternity it took
To realize
Purity, god, light and wonder
Are no more
Than the Hellest Hell.
Stars.
Stared.
Seeking light.
Purity.
Stars as Gods.
And an eternity it took
To realize
Purity, god, light and wonder
Are no more
Than the Hellest Hell.

Looking without our eyes
There is so much out there that we cannot see. Wonders. Phenomena that we can only imagine. And it's all because we have always lived here, surrounded by the light of our sun, struggling to adapt and survive on this planet. Nevertheless, nothing can stop us from imagining how it would be if life was something that was happening in a much broader region of space, instead of being limited by a planet. What if life was struggling to survive on an entire solar system - or even in a galaxy (or in a large portion of the universe? Sure we could come up with a huge amount of arguments that would clearly show that this hypothetic scenario is, at least, non-sense. However, if by some way, life could evolve and become a solar-system, galactic or a universal phenomena, then it would have to adapt "its creatures" to the extremely "weird" environment. Beings which could only see visible light would definitely be eliminated rapidly (unless they somehow could come up with a smart "external" solution, like human beings). Thus, multi-wavelength vision would be highly important, not only to search for points of interest, but also to probe some of the biggest dangerous along the galaxy. What other changes would have to take place? Will they ever happen?

The beginning
And so there was energy and matter in a gracious dance. Turning into one another. However, nothing lasts forever, and the excitement and joy ended up increasing distances, cooling the environment. And energy and matter were no longer connected as they were in the beginning. Nevertheless, there was a different dance now. Nuclei, and then, all of a sudden, electrons started pairing up with them. And there was a flash, when all the photons became free. And so they flew in all directions, in a loudly joy, singing songs of the very beginning - something that nothing could remember clearly now.
And then it was like time was running faster and faster, while the mysterious dark matter was shaping the distribution of matter that would eventually ended up forming the first galaxies. Those, getting bigger and bigger, formed the first stars, huge amounts of gas, giving up an unimaginable quantity of energy, specially in the ultraviolet domain. Nevertheless, such intensity can not last for long - and they died almost a moment after they were born. But they did not left without leaving their mark. Forever. With their enormous explosions, they created the first metals, and triggered star formation in all the nearby regions. Soon, a new generation of stars would be born, in a much richer environment. Some would even form planets. Us. Living beings.
Is it over already? Or was it just the beginning?

Hard times
It's hard to overcome all the problems and difficulties that life loves to offer us all the time. However, when we are determined enough, there will always be a way. A solution. A hope. No matter how impossible the task might seem, or how tuff it looks for the people around you. The secret for life is the secret for your own success: learning to defy the deepest and most fundamental laws of physics, by using them against them.
Sometimes
And it all comes down to the moment when you look at the sky and figure out that somehow you last track of your own life. Your past. And how can you paint the future with your hands when you don't even know where you came from? How to set the route when you have no idea of your birthplace?

Star dust

And so it began. It was created. Just like all the other things that we are familiar with in this planet we call home: Earth. And no matter if it is a human emotion, art, poetry, music, technology, life, or dreams. Because they all come from the same Mothers: stars and their violent, energetic and amazing explosions as supernovas. We are more than just souls stuck in bodies made of star dust: we are stars' suns and daughters.
