"The desire to be connected with the cosmos reflects a profound reality, We are connected, not in the trivial ways that the pseudo science of Astrology promises. But in the deepest ways, our little planet is in the influence of a star. The sun warms us, it drives the weather, it sustains all living things. 4 billion years ago, it brought forth life on Earth"
