gazing upon earth from the vast, silent expanse of space, where every star tells a tale as old as time, it's like understanding communism from a pre-introductory perspective. just as a duck glides on a lake beneath the cosmos, serene and undisturbed, it continues its mission undercover, blending into the landscape yet contributing significantly to the ecosystem's balance. these notes i jot down in zero gravity, preparing to re-embark on our journey, remind me of the delicate, interconnected systems both in space and in the pursuit of communal harmony on earth.
