I have just discovered this web site. My hope is that by sharing, we can all reach some degree of closure and celebrate Carl Sagan's life as we try to incorporate his eternal spirit into us. I met Carl Sagan many years ago, very briefly, when he was giving a slide lecture at Syracuse University about the early results of the Viking missions. He now belongs to us in a very personal way as he never could before. And, yes, we will be there on his birthday in November, and on December 20, and, yes, most definitely, on June 1.
True greatness pushes the limit and height of aspiration To an ever-expanding plane of achievement.
The gift of enlightenment so eagerly received is its legacy. It is pure, generous and freely given Yet so rarely glimpsed through the passage of time. And tuck our minds safely in under a blanket of wisdom. But, still held by its enthusiasm, we chase our own dreams. It is he, this communicator of the ages This gentle pervader of so many revelations.
