“Look again at that dot.
That's here.
That's home.
That's us. “
Pale Blue Dot
These few lines of “Pale Blue Dot” by Carl Sagan (1934- 1996) touches me in these rough days. And from our perspective, not from space, but from Hong Kong, on the street; it is like searching for light in the darkness. What is the full picture now? Are the littles finally accumulated to mickle or vanished into a trifle?
Ugliness and darkness shedding over my homeland is now just a start. And before my pupils are naturally adapting to the darkness, I wish to capture her beauty as much as I can.
