Introduction: Gazing Home
“Fire, over a large stretch of land. Is that natural?” No, the explosions are eloquent enough. The astronaut looks with a weary face at his beloved planet. A round ball of earth and water, home to millions and appreciated by few. “Don’t they realise how delicate is the equilibrium? Can’t they see the tight rope under our feet?” No, they can’t and he knows it. From the arrogance of kings come petty squabbles of entire kingdoms. For a tiny piece of land death is smeared over the planet’s surface. They don’t see how insignificant it all is, we all are, because they are too close. Only with distance can we appreciate things from a new perspective.
He pulled the chain and moved towards the ship. He grabbed the handle and took another look behind. The planet kept rotating, without hurry, oblivious to the suffering caused by ignorance. “Are you really oblivious, pale blue dot? Don’t you realise what’s going on all over you?” He hesitated in his mind, as he noticed clouds gathering over the fires. “A storm is coming. Perhaps the water will cool their rage or hopefully just sweep them away.” He supposed he was being unfair, he didn’t know what the fight was about. Perhaps there was justification for a call to arms. “Is there no other way? Are we so unable to respect our differences?” Maybe we are. It could be that we refuse to see because it’s easier that way.
He pulled himself into the hatch and waited in silence as he moved between chambers, which filled with air and balanced pressure, to make his return to a precarious safe haven. “It would only take a rock big enough and this station would break in two and I would drift aimless in space. The planet is only a bit more resistant but if anything happens to it we are lost in a void.” He realised how depressed the look of the planet was making him this time. He looked through a window and tried to find the region assailed by flames. There were none to be seen under the dark clouds. Hopefully, the rain would stop them but, for how long? “Is there anything we can do or say to make them see, to make them understand?”
He wished himself back home, surrounded by family and friends; nothing seemed more important. He also wished them to be safe and that the fires of war hadn’t reached them; yet, at least. “I was so close and also so excited to get away. Now I can’t wait to be back, home.” There was nobody else out here, except for the most evocative view of all that he had left behind. “I will go back. I will tell them, I’ll make them listen. They have to listen. Before it’s too late! I hope it’s not too late.” He kept staring at a little patch of earth, on a small round rock splashed with water, that floated alone in space.
