I have the idea, that the universe is infinite because it is the home of our dreams. The idea might be rational and irrational at the same time. If it were the house of god, it would have human form, instead we have a dark canvas printed with varying tones of stars, supernovas and nebulas, for me this is a portrait of our dreams. Like intermittent traffic lights that never stop.

That is the most beautiful thing I have ever read.
Such a wonderful thought. This is nice. :)
Tyler and Juicebox, thanks for the comments, for be my first post at moteldemoka, I appreciate very much.
Amazing sentiment here, I often feel the same way. Also please continue to post songs in this vein, I love this stuff.
Congratulations on your first post, schils, interesting material, and a fantastic photograph. Could I suggest the title be changed to ‘Through the cosmos, through the night’? A ‘trough’ is a long shallow container which animals eat or drink out of.
like this jake?
Thanks and cheers!
Almost there. You don’t need the question mark. Where are you from, originally? ‘Schils’ sounds Scandinavian. I’m in Scotland, teaching English.
I’ve loved that Schnauss track for some time it’s a classic.
Lovely themed playlist!
About my last name: I don’t know much about it. I’m from Mexico, my family came after the second world war, but we don’t kwnow from are where. I usually searchs in internet trying to find other persons withe the same name, I found people only in Germany and Netherlands. My situation is rare because all people with my same last name only lives in my little town, there aren’t more people in all the continent
:(
Where are you from Jake?
Pd. My english is too poor. All the credits of this post are to Moka, she practically translated the idea.

la frase es de Gagarin…la foto es de fort photo. Pero de todas maneras mil gracias por tus comentarios, Los aprecio muchísimo.
“…some Western sources claimed that Gagarin, during his space flight, had made the comment, “I don’t see any God up here.” However, no such words appear in the verbatim record of Gagarin’s conversations with the Earth during the spaceflight.[8] In a 2006 interview a close friend of Gagarin, Colonel Valentin Petrov, stated that Gagarin never said such words, and that the phrase originated from Nikita Khrushchev’s speech at the plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU, where the anti-religious propaganda was discussed. In a certain context Khrushchev said, “Gagarin flew into space, but didn’t see any God there”.[9] Colonel Petrov also said that Gagarin had been baptised into the Orthodox Church as a child.”
