Here is a retrospective observation of our place in the universe by the late Carl Sagan.  Although we did not evolve on Earth, and Earth is not truly our “home”, it is the only planet we can inhabit at this moment in the Eternal Now…. Let’s each be responsible as Sentient Beings who inhabit this tiny, fragile Pale Blue Dot….  It’s the only “home” we are likely to have for a very, very long time.
