“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Gratitude and grace

It is of course Thanksgiving in the USA today, and that is one of the most important holidays of the year. It is my favourite American holiday, because it serves to remind us all of the importance of being grateful in our lives. I’ve been crazy busy today so...
